Freshly Made Sketches #741 - A Sketch by Narelle

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!




Hey Everyone! Narelle here with this weeks sketch. As usual I had absolutely no plan or idea about a sketch for this challenge ahead of time as I'm not a planner.  I literally threw this sketch together at the last minute and came up with rectangles - the rest is up to you. Have fun with it!












Just a head's up that Android phone users have experienced problems opening Instagram links directly to our design team member's individual Instagram page. This is an Android problem and not something we can fix, but to make things a little easier for you to find those DT members on Instagram we've provided you with their Instagram handle.

We have a few simple rules to keep things fun and fair for all of our players:
  • Please use any crafting product you would like to use.
  • Feel free to combine our challenge with up to THREE other challenges, except for another sketch challenge.
  • Please add a DIRECT link to your blog or other online gallery when adding your card to the link below.  If linking to a public gallery, use keyword #FMS741
  • Include our challenge sketch and a link back to Freshly Made Sketches on your post.
  • Have fun!
This challenge will end at 3:00 EDT time on Monday, June 22nd.  On Tuesday, we will announce the winner of this week's challenge who will be known as the "Queen or King of Clean".  The team will choose other gallery favorites to be known as a "Perfect Princess or Prince."

  Congratulations, Alice! you are this week's Queen of Clean! I loved that you took my Sketch under-the-sea and used a smooshed piece from your collection for your sun - or is that the moon rising 
with all its wonderful 'craters?' 
Much appreciation to those of you who took my 'scene' in so many directions - all FABULOUS!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Narelle!

Christine from aheartfeltcard on Instagram




Thank you to all who played with my sketch this week.  I hope it gave you some fun, creative time.  I was immediately drawn to Christine's fun card with the wonky houses. The bright colours and quirky die-cuts just made me smile.  Congratulations, Christine; you are this week's Queen of clean!

Hi, it's Karren here and it's my turn to design the sketch.  I'll admit to cheating a bit as I had already made my card and then designed the sketch around it. But however I got to it, I hope you'll have fun and play along.

Rosemary from Hey There ... rosigrl



A big thank you to everyone who played along with us this week. The gallery was full of amazing creative cards in so many different styles. Rosemary's card really stood out to me! The sketchy flower and the piece of vellum make such a brilliant take on the sketch! Congratulations, Rosemary; you are this week's Queen of clean!

Winners for Sketch 737

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





You guys outdid yourselves again this week!  I loved checking out each and every card!  It's always so fun to see how different each card can be even though they all start with the same sketch!  I loved Cindy's card as soon as I saw it.  I love those big, beautiful flowers and the soft colours all done up with a simple, white frame.  Such a pretty card.  Congrats Cindy, you are the Queen of Clean!


Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Cécile!
