Freshly Made Sketches #741

Narelle has just the perfect Sketch for sending postcards from the edge - of the beach, that is!  See for yourselves...

The fun Waffle Flower Crafts: Postage Collage Beach Days set just
happened to be on my desk!


It was just the right time to bring back my SB waves embossing folder, too!


We hope you are inspired to play cards with us again this week!  I'm sure my team has even more inspiration for you over at the Freshly Made Sketches #741 post!

These pretty summery postage stamps are so perfect for this sketch, Michele! I love the wavy background too! This takes me to the beach in my dreams, my friend!

Marcia Hill said...

A fun sketch and the perfect "stamps" to portray it Michele!! Love your background waves too...goes along with the beach theme beautifully! And the sentiment on that wispy little cloud works perfectly too! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

This is such a great take on the sketch! Love all the elements and the "groovy" background....thanks for sharing!

Leslie Miller said...

You're right about this sketch being perfect for those postage stamps! The waves are ideal for the background, and the sentiment on the cloud is the cutest finish! FMS always has the best sketches and I love seeing what you do with them!

Lisa Elton said...

I like your pretty postage stamps but it's the little cloud holding the sentiment that's my fave! Cute card, Michele! Your's is one of the many blogs that's not showing up in my reader for some reason. I still get the emails, but what's going on? My blog header has disappeared too. Blogger has gone whacko...

Postage stamps were on my list of images to use, too! Love your summertime images (and embossed waves!) and that big, beautiful cloud!

JoAnn said...

Yes, I agree with everyone, these postage stamp dies and images are perfect for this sketch, as is that wavy background, and the sentiment too. Love your card Michele.

LeAnne said...

LOVE this! Those crisp, clean images look fabulous against that wavy embossed background! I think I need to play with sketch too!
