Freshly Made Sketches #326

The weekly FMS challenge is all about clean and simple design.  For this week’s challenge I knew I wanted to use one of my fav DSP sets in the annual catalog, Pick-a-Pattern.  Every pattern in this DSP set is so much fun; full of cute characters, fun patterns, fabulous colors, and B&W papers as well.  

This is actually my second card based on this sketch, the first of which also used the Pick-a-Pattern DSP.  While I thought my first card was fun, it didn’t turn out clean and simple, so I tried again.

This is my second card for this challenge:.

Sending a Smile

The adorable characters and happy camper paper just make me smile.  Each pattern on this card is from the same DSP set, which makes coordinating the colors a snap.   Emerald Envy is one of my favorite greens, and I love it with the Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake, and a touch of Flirty Flamingo.  I really thought I needed to mat everything on Basic Black cardstock to tone it down a bit and give your eyes some place to rest.   The Wood Words stamp set provided the sentiment because I thought the block lettering fit with the basic camper theme. 

I finished by fussy cutting the bear, the little bird and a stump from the DSP.  The bird was attached so it sits on the stump, and then I popped it up on dimensionals.  The bear is popped up on dimensionals as well and placed over the bear on the paper.  I put the little bird and stump next to the bear, and TA-DAH! Done.

Here’s the sketch which inspired my card:

I hope this sketch and my card inspire you to create something adorable today.

Have a Peachy Sunday!
