I just wasn't sure about this week's Freshly Made Sketches' sketch. The samples were all very wonderful, but I just couldn't envision a finished product of my own. But once I found this cute damask paper in the Stella and Rose 6x6 pad from My Mind's Eye, the whole card just started to fall into place. I used the cute little sentiment from Fiskar's All Year Greetings stamped in Mocha Mama, a fabulous chalk ink from Quick Quotes. I forget how wonderful their ink works for stamping sentiments. The flower is my favorite one from the Silhouette Design Studio, but this time I made a little change to it. While it's my favorite flower, it's really a pain in the rear to put together in a small size. So I took a little time this time to copy, paste and weld the smaller petals together so I could put it together in much fewer steps. It worked perfectly, but, of course, this time I was using a larger flower, so I'll have to give it a try on a smaller flower down the road to see just how much easier it really is. I added a little Old Paper Distress Ink to give the flower and leaves a little more depth. An Irock gem from Imaginesce finished it off. I truly think it's one of my favorites. It may be very simple, but that's the way I like it.
