Freshly Made Sketches #653 - A Sketch by Kim

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches!  Each week, one member of our design team creates a sketch for you to try.  The challenge is to follow our sketch while keeping your project clean-lined and fresh.  The "Clean Team" has come up with some "Freshly Made" designs to get you in the spirit.  We are so excited to see what YOU create!

Happy FMS Sketch Day!  It's Kim and I think I might have brought you the most boring sketch ever!  But I hope you don't look at it that way.  Maybe it's just me, but I buy big sentiment stamps or dies and then I can never quite figure out how to use them. It seems too lazy just to plop them on a great piece of dsp or on a sponged wash of color or on an embossed background, but it isn't, and I want to get over that feeling because those big beautiful sentiments can stand alone. That's why I did the sketch. Keep it easy or fancy up that background - but let your sentiment take center stage.  Most of all, have fun!
