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!

That New Slimline Card

I imagine long, slim cards have been created before, but they are attracting interest right now.

This Freshly Made Sketches challenge took me in a couple of directions.  The designer samples are all wonderful, and I checked out Pinterest as well.  That's when I was distracted by Kristina Werner's Distress Oxide blending. I decided I needed to try one for myself and use it for a Slimline card. The first attempt was a failure, so I took a break and then tried again. 

My favorite Stampotique floral image and an old Wordsworth stamp were all I needed to complete the card.
