FMS125 Freshly Made Sketches Challenge

My entry in this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge could be an anniversary card, Father's Day card from a wife, or just a "thankful for you" type of card! I love the nautical theme, and for some reason I think of the little whale as myself. IF the snow were to go away, maybe I could get out for a walk now and then!

Even though the weather is frightful, I'm happy to be indoors stamping today.

Supplies used:

• Tools: Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Starburst Framelits Dies, 1-3/4" Circle Punch
• Stamps: Hello, Sailor
• Paper: Whisper White, Pacific Point, Gold Foil Sheets
• Ink: Pacific Point
• Embellishments: Gold Sequin Trim, Gold Baker's Twine, Pacific Point 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon

FMS123 Freshly Made Sketches Challenge

This is my first time participating in a Freshly Made Sketches challenge! I enjoy the simple templates this group posts nearly each week, and all the creative submissions by the readers. I chose hexagons for my 8 shapes, and had fun choosing some brighter, spring-like colors. I popped 3 of the hexies up with dimensionals to give some texture. I'm in love with the Crisp Cantaloupe twine that is included in the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack, a Sale-A-Bration exclusive product.

Supplies used:

• Tools: Hexagon Punch, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Chevron Embossing Folder, Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack
• Paper: Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White, Pool Party, Summer Starfruit, Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper
• Ink: Pistachio Pudding, Basic Black
• Stamps: Six-Sided Sampler
• Adhesive: Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive
