Slimline is the "new" line...

I really like the slimline design!  There are so many things that I can do with the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches. I started with soft gray cardstock and then cute some DSP for the featured layer.  The leaf die was cut in peach and gray.  I know that the slim design will figure prominently in future card-making. 

 

Slimming the Card Again

I can see myself making several of the slimline cards now!  I chose the vertical layout this time and used a piece from my giant stash of patterned paper.   Can't wait to start another! 

(In case my friend Tish visits this post...please send me your e-mail address!  Windows crashed a few months ago, and I lost all my e-mail addresses.  My e-mail is evspikes@eoni.com.) 

Tired of Covid 19

Every day for 50 days, I made a card with some kind of sentiment appropriate for the "lockdown."  Finally, I essentially ran out of ideas, so I'm trying card challenges again.  My first non-Covid card is for Case This Sketch 371.  

During this lockdown, I've been buying pads of patterned papers....several pads of paper.  The front layer of this card is a sheet from Adalelne Craft Papers (PolkaDoodles) purchased from Simon Says. 

The DaVinci die is a new one from Simon Says (Memory Box). "Joy" is an old SU! stamp.

Pretty Papers for Freshly Made Sketches

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, but it's difficult.  I stand to craft but I have a hip injury that makes standing for very long difficult; sitting isn't much better.  I started on this Freshly Made Sketches card with a different piece of designer paper from my latest Simon Says order...then I changed it again. The Moda Scrap paper "Let it Bloom"  is a pack of beautiful soft colors and designs.  I cut out one of the larger flowers for the accent piece and popped it on foam.  [Most likely, I will have a hip replacement in February.]
