Freshly Made Sketches #673 and Color Throwdown #826

The sketch at Freshly Made Sketches had a lot of possibilities and it took me a while to narrow down what I would use.  It just so happened that my color choices were perfect for Color Throwdown. 

A background panel was embossed with SU's Timeworn Type.  SSS Chisholm Wreath was cut from kraft and given a spritz of Frayed Burlap Distress Spray.  A second cutting in white, inlaid into the wreath, gave a place to add the PB sentiment.  A bow from The Greetery and some pink flower sequins from SSS decorate it.  

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you are safe from the winter storm blast.

Freshly Made Sketches #583

There is an interesting sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and while I had an immediate idea, following through with all the details was more difficult that I thought.  Maybe you should see the sketch first.

I have the Rustic Floral  Wreath from Pinkfresh Studio and stenciled with Altenew Inks.  It has the swag of flowers on both sides so I cut them apart and used one on my card along with a heat embossed sentiment from Sunny Studio.  The bow from PTI is cut from brown metallic paper.  That's what took so long - trying to figure out what color the bow should be.  I inked it with the same colors as the flowers and it turned out so different.  Nothing else I had matched but when I saw this scrap of brown I knew it was what I had been looking for.
