Freshly Made Sketches 729

 Today, I'm playing along with Freshly Made Sketches. I was stuck on an idea for a card - I was on a Zoom with some crafty friends, and so i asked them to tell me what stamp company I should use to make something. One suggested Lawn Fawn, and one suggested Waffle Flower. I got my stamps out, but was still stuck, and realised I needed a sketch to get me out of my rut! Freshly Made Sketches to the rescue!

Foiled 21st card

 Another card I made for my niece's 21st - I use a press plate from Alex Syberia on my Glimmer machine to foil the card, and then stenciled over the flowers in the colours chosen as the theme for Caitlin's party.

Altenew Ambassador - Blue ornamental poppies

Today, I'm sharing a card I made using the Ornamental Poppies die set from Altenew. My favourite colour of all time is what I call Michelle Blue, and the closest ink or cardstock colour I've managed to find to this colour is Altenew's Azurite. And I think my favourite way to use Michelle Blue is to keep it simple - crisp blue and white.
