Flowery Thanks

Hi and welcome to Freshly Made Sketch Challenge day, where our hostess this week is Jen Brum.  And here is her sketch.


I went with a flowery card this week and came up with this design.


The flowers were stamped and die-cut and then put to one side while I worked on the card base.  A grout gray square base was cut to 4 1/2" square and a white panel was die-cut with a mod square stax die.  I arranged the flowers inside each cutout and then stamped the sentiment before adhering to the card base with foam tape.



Thanks for visiting.  The DT have some gorgeous cards so I hope you'll check them out.

    This is lovely, Karren! The mod square shape looks like a petal and is perfect for framing your flowers.

    Gorgeous flowers, Karren! I love those pretty shades of yellow and that you chose Grout Gray for your background...it really makes everything pop! Great idea to use the Mod Squares for your apertures, too...A really stunning take on the sketch, as always!

    Beautiful card! The yellow flowers are just lovely. And those mod squares had me searching my stash to see if if I had something similar....I don't. :(
