Freshly Made Berries

I was disappointed to miss last week's Freshly Made Sketch.  Between traveling for work, and then getting sick, I didn't finish my card on time!  Actually, it's still not finished.  Once I missed the deadline, I never went back to it.  But I'm back at it again this week for sketch #6. 

I'm still working on my stack of Christmas cards, so it's a familiar theme.

 

Here's the original sketch:

I cheated a few times in my interpretation.  I knew I didn't connect the main shape to the scallops, but I didn't realize until I copied the sketch photo that I also left out the "Any Shape."  I hope the Clean Team is OK with it!

A Conversation with a Card

Do you ever find yourself in a conversation with someone and eventually you get to a point where you both look at each other and say, "how did we get on this topic?"  That's what happened with this card.  Other than the fact that in the end, I successfully followed the 4th wonderful Freshly Made Sketch, this card looks nothing like the one in my head when I started!

 

I ran the Basic Gray card stock through the Big Shot with the Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions Folder halfway, flipped the card stock around, and ran it through again so I would have the texture on either side of the middle panel.  The ribbon on the tag is just Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon that I colored with a sponge dauber and some Rose Red ink.  In the end, I'm pretty happy with the direction of this conversation.  :-)
