Hey Everyone
It’s time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. This week the lovely Cindy Hall is our sketch hostess and she’s provided this fabulous sketch. I had so much fun creating my card and I know you’re going to love her sketch too!
Strawberry Slush is a colour I don’t use much, so I decided it was time to bring it out of the back of the cupboard and give it a go. I really love the drama of any colour with Basic Black so that’s the colour I’ve teamed Strawberry Slush with today. I’ve gone with one of my favourite flower stamp sets – Stippled Blossoms – for my card. My leaves are also from this stamp set and are stamped in Old Olive.
I’m so lucky I made my cards for this weeks design team committments on Sunday. I wouldn’t have got them made if I left them until Monday. The reason for this is because I had a fall on Monday and fractured my left radial head (a bone in my elbow) and I’m left handed! I’m sad to say I’m going to be out of action after tomorrows post for a little while – can you imagine how completely devastated about this? This post has taken forever to type with my non-dominant hand.
We’d love it if you can join us this week at Freshly Made Sketches. Head over to the challenge and have a look at the gorgeous inspiration from the design team.
Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers
Narelle
Narelle, so very sorry about the fracture. Love your cards….heal fast!
Take about gorgeous flowers! Beautifully done! Hope you are feeling a bit better!
Beautiful card, you always are an inspiration. Sending good thoughts for a speedy recovery.
So sorry about your arm. I love your designs and look forward to your return.
Your card is stunning my friend! I am so sorry to hear about your injury! Thinking of you! Hugs!
This is such a beautiful card, and I love that it’s square! I think we should make more square cards!
So sorry to hear about your fall, and I sympathize. I had eye surgery 6 weeks ago, and I still can’t read a book, and I have to be careful what I stamp, as I am not seeing very clearly. Keep life simple and hope you heal soon. Don’t be afraid to ask somebody else to type for you 🙂
So sorry about your fall and fracture. Hope you mend quickly.
Your card is gorgeous. Love those stippled blossoms.
Another fabulous card, Narelle and so striking! I don’t use Strawberry Slush either but it looks stunning with black. Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Don’t push yourself too soon even though you’ll be desperate to stamp!
Lots of good wishes for a speedy recovery,your card is gorgeous you are a excellent stamper the flowers are stunning!!!
Gorgeous as always! I hope you recover quickly and can dive back into stamping. And typing. And opening jars of Vegemite!
Narelle, this card is so lovely! I love the elegance of the pink and black together! Such beautiful flowers as well! I’m so sorry to hear about your elbow! I do hope you’re feeling better soon!
This card is sooo beautiful! I just love this color combo!! The strawberry looks amazing against the black!!
Hope you’ll feel better soon,Narelle!!!
The colors you chose are so beautiful together! I love this card! Gorgeous flowers and beautiful design! Heal quickly! We’re going to miss seeing your fabulous creations!
Such a pretty card. Sorry to hear about your fall. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
More striking flower perfection!! Not sure how you will survive without fussy cutting…. Hoping you heal quickly!!
Sorry to hear about your fall Narelle!
Perhaps a silly question, but what size is your card, and the small square cut outs size wise.
I am rather new at this… please when you feel like it can you send me a little note?
Feel better soon.
