Before I introduce our next Freshly Made Sketch, let me say that I'm sorry I haven't been around much. I have had a busy Spring that has taken me out of the house WAY more than normal - I'm a homebody, for sure!
Okay. Now for the fun part! Jen Mitchell is one of the founding members of FMS and her busy career keeps her from playing cards with us as often as I'm sure she'd love to. Good news: Jen is our Freshly Made Sketch #734 designer this week! YAY! Here it is...
I normally steer clear of square cards - let's face it 'extra postage' isn't something we need these days with the already pricey stamps! But my card design and elements worked so well with Jen's square - IMHO! Ready for it?
The lovely crane was a gift that just keeps giving and fits so beautifully
with the elements from the March 2024 Hero Arts Classic kit that I HAD TO HAVE
after watching Channin Pelletier do her magic!
Today I paired the kit's large cut/emboss panel die with Spellbinders' Essential Four Petal Labels to create the largest of the two main pieces of Jen's sketch. Another smaller one was stamped to create the watery scene for my Crane. There was a sheet of rub-ons included in the kit, too - not sure what this strip says, but it worked its
charm, I think, and allows me to use this for any occasion!
So, what do you think? Did I pull off that square design? I know YOU will - or you can make it any shape you want as long as we can see our sketch in your design!

You definitely pulled off the square design and you can mail it in an A2 envelope without extra postage! I'm loving this crane and the background dies! One of my favorite Michele cards, my friend!
Absolutely stunning! I’m not a square fan either but sometimes it just works and this is one of those times! Really elegant and calming.
Oh my - total elegance! Gorgeous!
This is beautiful! I am not normally attracted to Asian themes, but the colors and diecuts of this card really are beautiful! That is an interesting sketch for sure--I'll need to put my thinking cap on for that one!
Oh this is so ELEGANT Michele. I'm in awe.
LOVE the Asian vibes and your choice of unique shapes for Jen's sketch! And whatever that strip says, it just ties in everything perfectly! Ah-mazing!
CAS perfection Michele and you pulled off the square card design beautifully!! So glad the crane came out to play again and I'm loving all the background design too...simply STUNNING!! Hugs. :0)
Oh yes, you more than pulled off the square design, you ROCKED it! Love the colors, love the card!

Gorgeous card, Michele! Wow!
Anything with birds, sigh... How beautiful and serene this is! You always use the prettiest colors, too. Such a lovely interpretation of the sketch!
