Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards made using a fun card sketch, courtesy of Karla. This is the layout that we are using for this week's projects. I stuck pretty close to it with my two cards today that feature a few products from the Holiday catalog.

Hi and welcome! Today's post features the newest sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches team where our hostess this week is the talented Kim Singdahlsen. I've mentioned before that angled panels on cards make my eye twitch, so you can imagine how I felt when I saw three of them! I actually spent several days pondering how I was going to pull this off and in the end I decided to mimic the lines of the angles with a die. So I used this circle die to cut three lines in a white panel and once that was done, I adhered it to a Gravel Gray card base. I then die-cut the Caprice Heart dies from Grout Gray, Cement Gray and Gravel Gray cardstocks and layered them up. The sentiment was cut down from a longer one and stamped in black ink on the same angle as the circles. I positioned the heart so the centre opening was right over one of the circle cutouts. And that's my card! Simple and angled 😄 Thanks for visiting! The DT have some gorgeous cards - in fact when I added my card to the DT blog, I saw that Lee Ann and I had very similar ideas! Well, you know what they say - great minds think alike 😀 Products used: Stamps: More Essential Sentiments (MFT) Ink: Versafine Onyx Black Cardstock: White, Grout Gray, Gravel Gray, Cement Gray (MFT) Dies: Caprice Hearts (Birch Press Designs), Blueprints 21 (MFT) Cheers Karren
