Hey everyone, thanks so much for stopping by, good to see you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a creation for Freshly Made Sketches<\/a><\/strong>. This particular sketch challenge is in celebration of their 400th sketch challenge and 8 years of challenging card designers.I think that is outstanding, that is a long time and quite the following – Congratulations! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each week this month, if I understand correctly, they will head back into the vault and pull out an oldie but goody challenge. This challenge happens to be sketch challenge #1 and challenge #100. If you want to learn more about Freshly Made Sketches<\/a><\/strong>, head on over to their blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was just looking at my card beside their sketch image and realized I apparently took their lead in my color scheme, it was absolutely a subconscious move, but apparently it resonated with me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start I created a card base from a half sheet of Cajun Craze cut to 4-1\/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1\/2″, creating a top folding card. The base mat is cut from Gray granite and then will be topped with the Whisper White finished decorative panel, cut from Stitched Rectangle Dies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I began by getting all the stamping out of the way first, which really wasn’t a lot for this card. I chose to let the new Designer Series Paper do the majority of the talking. On a scrap piece of Cajun Craze I stamped the pumpkin image from the Gather Together stamp set in Cajun Craze ink. On a scrap of Whisper White, I stamped the sentiment also from Gather Together “So glad to have you in my life.” in Gray Granite. Now to the die cutting, using the scalloped layering squares die I cut two squares from Pretty Peacock. Using the pumpkin die from the coordinating die set Gathered Leaves, I cut the stamped Cajun Craze pumpkin. Using a die from my stash I cut the fishtail sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulling everything together, I adhered a square of DSP to each scalloped square, then I cut a strip of coordinating DSP. Everything is adhered to the stitched rectangle Whisper White mat with liquid adhesive, the pumpkin is attached with a dimensional or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
