It's Freshly Made Sketches day and that means another cool sketch for you to try. This week the very talented and sweet Cindy Hall is our hostess and she has come up with this fabulous sketch.
For my card, I pulled out a sheet of First Edition DSP that I'd painted with Gesso some time ago. I cut it to fit the sketch and layered it onto Very Vanilla. The sentiment is black embossed over the Gesso layer. I die cut and stamped various images from Larger Than Life and arranged them on the left-hand side of the card.
This is a very simple card, but quite effective.
Thanks for visiting. The rest of the design team has some fabulous inspiration for you. I hope you have time to join us this week.

Cool, classy and oh so elegant! Love everything about this! Time to open my jar of gesso!
I wondered how you got that muted effect on the newsprint. I'll have to remember that trick! I love the simplicity of this. The leafy sprig is a perfect accent.
