Hey Everyone
This week our Freshly Made Sketches hostess is Allisa and she has created this fabulous sketch (this one’s a keeper for sure Allisa!) :
Happy Birthday Vicki!
I designed my card around the designer series paper in the background which is from a retired Stampin’ Up! pack called Pocketful of Posies. I have to admit that even though I’ve had this pack for ages, I’d never noticed this pretty striped paper before. I think the main colour is Pale Plum, a retired Stampin’ Up! colour, that I’ve teamed with Perfect Plum. When it was time to choose a stamp set, I channeled Vicki and used Stippled Blossoms, a stamp set I know she uses and one of my favourite flower stamp sets. I got my fingers inky and dyed some Very Vanilla Seam Binding with Perfect Plum ink – it was only after I finished did I accidentally come across some Perfect Plum taffeta ribbon that I didn’t even know I had!
We’d love for you to join us this week so head over to Freshly Made Sketches and link up a card for our challenge. While you’re there check out the gorgeous inspiration the Clean Team have created.
Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers
Narelle

You have combined the Sketch the colour and use of your inky fingers bow perfectly …
Gorgeous! I love how did the card in shades of purple! And the dyed ribbon looks fabulous. Every time I try and do that the color looks washed out. What’s the secret?
