Hi and welcome! It's my turn to design the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and I decided it was time for another slimline card. Despite my original intentions, I ended up with a mini-slimline.
I had the idea to use this striped die and add colour to represent one of the strips on the sketch and the sentiment can represent the other strip. Obviously, I flipped the sketch onto the side. The flower was one I had left over from another project. The sentiment was embossed with some old Crushed Curry embossing powder.
Thanks for visiting! I hope you'll check out the rest of the DT cards and have a go yourself.
Products used:
Stamps: Celebrate Life (Altenew/PinkFresh), Hello Lovely (Concord & 9th)
Ink: Amalgam (Gina K), Versamark, Various Altenew inks for the flower
Cardstock: White, Midnight (Concord & 9th), Summer Sunrise, Limeade Ice (PTI)
Dies: Slimline Long Stripes (The Ton)
Accessories: Crushed Curry EP (SU)
Cheers
Karren

I love stripes and yours with that golden flower are so classy! What a brilliant idea to have color behind just a couple! Love it.
Karren, I've never met a sketch that you wouldn't see like nobody else would, or could!! Which is to say: this is brilliant!!

This is a very "catchy" card. I love it!
I wish I had gorgeous blooms like this just hanging around my desk! Your sketch is so creative and your card is perfect for it! Beautifully done!
Love the classic navy & white stripes with the fresh pop of yellow, Karren! Great sketch.
I love the elegance of this card, Karren! The crisp, clean horizontal lines with a pop of isolated color look amazing and your bloom is gorgeous! I also love that you chose Crushed Curry for your sentiment...so clever, my friend!
I love the bold lines on this. They really make the flower stand out and the color you added between them is just perfect. I had no idea there was such a thing as Crushed Curry embossing powder - I thought I had the market cornered on obscure Stampin' Up! products but I'm obviously missing a few things!!! :)
This is such a gorgeous card Karren! I love the blue and white stripes and that flower is so pretty! Thanks for an amazing sketch this week!
I love these blue and white stripes! And of course, the flower is stunning! Gorgeous card and a fun sketch, Karren!
So elegant.
I Love how you just added colour to those two strips,
that makes it stand out more than having them all coloured.
Thanks for choosing my card for a mention, over at FMS

This is gorgeous!! I love the pop of color with the bold stripes! And the flower is lovely!
