Freshly Made Sketches #696, Inkspirational #346 and Seize the Birthday #310

It was hot and steamy yesterday so I stayed in and made a card for Freshly Made Sketches.  Since it was a birthday card, I'm also sending it to Inkspirational and Seize the Birthday - without the topping.

It all started with Concord and 9th's Birdhouse Blossoms.  I went looking for some patterned paper for the background, found one from Honey Bee and based my bird and house colors on it and added a heat embossed sentiment from Hero Arts.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Happy TGIF.

Freshly Made Sketches #694

I wasn't sure I'd get a card made for Freshly Made Sketches this week but piece by piece it came together.  

There were several reworkings of my idea but Peony Dream from Altenew was my main focus.  It's cut from white and colored with Altenw Ink in Sunray and Chamomile  with the leaves in Firefly.  The sentiment from Hero Arts is embossed in white on dark brown.  I haven't used my C9 Double Stripe Card Front in a while and it wanted to be part of this card.  I'm not really crazy about it - the leaves look disconnected - but sketches often do that to me.  It's called a challenge for a reason.  lol
