Hi all and welcome to sketch #501 at Freshly Made Sketches. Wow, what a great week last week was when we celebrated 500 sketch challenges. Our gallery was bursting with card eye-candy and it was wonderful to see so many players. Our sketch this week is brought to us by Kim Singdahlsen and here's the card I made with it:
I've been having fun playing along in other challenges after a couple of years of not doing much more than fulfilling my DT commitments. So this card was made with the following challenges in mind: Tic Tac Toe (Stencil/Any Colour Ink/Birthday) and Time Out Challenge (Coloured Card Base with Twist of Embellishments - my embellishment is the little peach enamel heart).
The floral image on this card is created using layering stencils. I've been really drawn to coral/peachy colours lately so I went in that direction for my flowers and matched them with a Peach Bellini card base which I embossed with the Subtle EF. The sentiment is embossed with Calypso Coral EP which is a close-enough match and I added some striped paper and thin strips of black cardstock in the background.
Thanks for visiting! Please check out the fabulous cards made by the rest of the design team.
Finally, before I go I would like to announce the winner of my blog candy offered up last week.

I love the colors you used! Such pretty flowers. I have many times felt like all I did was commitments; it's fun to play in new challenges now that I'm not working for any companies!
Such a beautiful card, love your interpretation of the sketch and your cardstock is such a beautiful color!
Those colours are really so pretty together - so soft and really striking with the black accents.
What a lovely card. I like the black striped paper over the peach card. The stamps you used are so pretty!
These happy color floral panel is just gorgeous and I love how you ^paired it with the black and white stripes.
