Hi and welcome to Freshly Made Sketch Challenge Day! This is the day where you get to feast your eyes on some amazing cards made by my team-mates on the Freshly Made Sketches design team. And this week, our challenge hostess is the incomparable Narelle Farrugia. Check out her sketch:
Is this not an awesome sketch? Here is my interpretation of it.
As you can see, I used stamping for the two horizontal elements. I stamped the two images onto Xpress-it cardstock and selectively colored them. The sentiment is embossed with Pool Party EP but is very hard to see. In hindsight, I wish I had used a darker color.
The shell was covered with Glossy Accents after being colored and is stuck on with dimensional tape.
I hope you've enjoyed this masculine birthday card. Head on over to the FMS blog to check out the fabulous work of the design team.
Thanks for visiting.
