Freshly Made Sketches #732 - A Sketch by Michelle L.

Hello everyone! This is my first sketch as a new member to this wonderful group of creatives. I am a big fan of contrast and clean design so this week's sketch is fairly simple. For your design, however, feel free to make it as simple or elaborate as you like. Have fun! I can't wait to see what you create! -Michelle L

Winners for Sketch 731

The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and Donna has chosen the Queen: 



I can see that you all had fun with my sketch which made it that much harder to 
choose the Queen! I kept going back to Su's card with the variegated panels that 
reminds me of the ocean and I love the pops of white from the flowers.
Congrats, Su, and thanks to all who joined the challenge!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Michelle Langley!

 Hello, friends! Donna here to welcome you to my first sketch as a design team member for Freshly Made Sketches! I decided to go old school with a simple sketch of a repetitive shape with little or no layering. Remember that the shape can be something other than a rectangle and just have fun!

It is such a joy to see your sketch brought to life. And it certainly was that this week as I looked through all of your beautiful designs using my sketch. Thank you for playing along!
There were several that I kept coming back to for different reasons, but this beautiful textured bee design won my bee-loving heart. Congrats MarDi - you are this week's Queen of Clean!

Winners for Sketch 729

The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and Amy has chosen the Queen: 



It's so fun to see how one simple sketch can be used in so many different ways! Browsing the gallery was a delight this week. I chose Marcia's card as I loved how she created the oval using a mask, and I think her coloring is beautiful.  Congrats Marcia - you are this week's Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Judy!
