Sketch #726 A Sketch by Karren

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!


Hi, it's Karren here and I am your sketch hostess this week.  I love the look of tags on cards but very rarely remember to actually use a tag element on my cards. So I selfishly designed this sketch to force me to break out the tag dies.  Of course, you don't have to use a tag - anything similar would work.  Most of all we just want you to have some fun, crafty time!

Freshly Made Sketches #725 - A Sketch by Cécile

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Cécile here with this week's sketch. Nothing too fancy, just a wonky background and something on top. If wonky shapes aren't your thing,  something straight will work just fine.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Winners for Sketch 724

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

Annette from De Kijkkast




Wow!  Every time I opened the gallery this week, it was filled with beautiful cards!  I am always amazed at how different and fabulous each one is!  Annette's card jumped out at me right away.  I love her flowers and that stunning embossed background!  She's used some of my favourite colours that give her card an elegant feel. Congratulations, Annette. You are our Queen of Clean!

Winners for Sketch 723

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






It was such a treat to look at the wonderful projects in the gallery this week! I was amazed at all the creative ways you made the oval focus point work. Susan's DIY oval background blew me away. Such a clever way to include the shape and the ink blending adds such a nice, soft touch. The reminder that spring is around the corner gives me hope in this snowy weather up north. Congratulations, Susan. You are our Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Jen B!

Hi everyone! Verena here with the sketch for this week. I went for a classic look with lots of versatility. Feel free to change the oval shape or turn the sketch. Just make it your own and have fun with it. I can't wait to look at the gallery and see what you've all come up with.
