Freshly Made Sketches #752 - 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. I threw a few shapes together for this sketch and hope you can do something with it! The girls in the DT have certainly done an amazing job at making it look like it could be a proper sketch and not a thrown together last minute mess! Can't wait to see what you create 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.

  • 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, .  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."

Winners for Sketch 751

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



WOW what a fabulous gallery of cards - you really made it hard to choose, but
Sonja, you are my Queen of Clean this week!  Not only do I love the embossing,
design paper and ribbon, it was your use of my favorite color combo: Pink & Orange
that kept me coming back for another look!  Congratulations!

Hello, fellow card makers!  Michele Ferguson here with a sketch designed from a card I made [and still love] many years ago!  I've linked it my blog post so stop by if you're curious. It had me reaching for some old favorites in my stash and I hope it inspires you to do the same!  
I am featuring two tipped squares - but feel free to make them any shape you like!

Hello everyone, it's Cécile here with this week's sketch. I kept it simple and graphic but feel free to make your card as whimsical as you like and, most of all, have fun! 

We want to take this opportunity to say farewell, for now, to our dear friend Amy O'Neill.  She will be taking a hiatus from our team (we never really let any team members leave, you see).  Her gorgeous eye for color and her beautiful work has been so admired by both the team and all of you for so many years.  Make sure you stop by her page to share your thoughts with her!

Laurie from Created by Laurie


Wow!  The gallery this week was just amazing!  I can't believe how many different cards there were!  You can tell the seasons are switching as we're seeing more fall, Halloween and Christmas cards!  As soon as I saw Laurie's card I fell in love with it.  Those perfectly coloured leaves paired with that burlap ribbon stole my heart!  I'm a sucker for all things fall!  Congratulations, Laurie! You are this week's Queen of Clean!

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

Anja from 1stampingnightowl on Instagram




As always, going through the gallery to look at all of your creations was so much fun this week! I loved all the different interpretations of the sketch. Anja's octopus was just too cute and the vibrant colours just spoke to me. The stenciled background ties everything together beautifully. Congratulations, Anja! You are this week's Queen of Clean!
