Freshly Made Sketches #32 {Miss You} and Colour Q #134




Wednesday is here! Hooray!!!  This week the hilarious Linda Callahan has a terrific sketch for us over at Freshly Made Sketches.  In her own words she says, "Square up your card or feel free to stretch it out a bit to fit your design.  We love to see how many ways our sketches can be interpreted!  Don't be afraid to think "outside the box!" Well I thought outside the box Linda!! I was tall and used a small circle...what do you think? This is also our last week with Kathy Tanner and Lisa Johansen as our April Guest Designers. Thank you ladies for hanging out with us!!!




I used the fun colours over at the Colour Q! The Bravo Burgundy is the colour of the birdcage bases. the cages are Pumpkin Pie and Pool Party. The sweet, little, lonely Owl is in Calypso Coral...I love that owl!  I bought this set called Aviary because of Nance Leedy.  I love the cards she has made with this set!! I used the sentiment from Up in the Air...and a small heart from an old set I have. The Pumpkin Pie ribbon represents the three dots on Linda's sketch...



Supplies Used (All SU!)
Stamps: Aviary, Up in the Air
Papers: Confetti White, Whisper White, Pool Party, In Colour 2012 Paper Pack
