Winners for Sketch 733

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





The gallery was such a treat this week and I love that a few of you were inspired to create multiple cards.  As always, your interpretations of the sketch were both creative and so lovely!  I was particularly drawn to this pretty flower pot and the sweet blooms.  That twine is the perfect touch, don't you think?!  Congrats, Vicki, you are the Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Jen Mitchell!

Winners for Sketch 732

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





This was my first time having to choose the Queen and it was so hard to decide! I loved seeing all of the variations based on my sketch. So many beautiful cards but I kept coming back to this one. I love the color palette and all of the detail.
Congrats, Joanne!

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!
