Good morning peeps. How is your week so far? Mine is humming right along. It’s Thursday and tomorrow is Friday! I love Fridays, the work week os over and the weekend begins. On to today’s post which is for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. This week Jennifer T. has provided us with this lovely sketch…
As soon as I saw it I knew exactly what I wanted to use. I love the circus themed items in the World Spectacular Products Suite. Great colors and really neat stamps, it has Island Indigo so it has to be a favorite! The base of my card is Crumb Cake Card Stock that I stamped with Crumb Cake ink with the distressed Dots Background Stamp. I embossed a piece of Calypso Coral with the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and mounted it to a piece of Early Espresso before adhering it to the card. Three pieces of World Spectacular Designer Series Paper are flagged on the one side and adhered to the embossed piece. I punched out a piece of Island Indigo with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch and used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool to pierce it before adhering it to the card with Stampin’ DImensionals. The elephant is from the You’re Amazing Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso. I stamped the image again in Calypso Coral and cut them out with my Paper Snips. He is also mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The winner image is from the same set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and punched out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch. I think the card is nice and colorful but not too over the top. I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge card and thank you so much for stopping by, I appreciate your visit. Have a wonderful day!

Such a fun card, Justin! I really like how the bright colors pop off the Kraft background and let’s face it, nothing says party like an elephant wearling a hat! This is fab inspiration to use this stamp set if I can ever get up and moving in my craft room again, after having foot surgery recently. Until then, thank goodness for Pinterest! Have a great day!
Thank you Anne Marie! I love the product suite. Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that. I think I would would just have to stay in the craft room! Hope you are better soon!
PS: I love Pinterest!
I think these colors are perfect for a circus and especially a circus where the elephants wear cool hats! I love all the texture you’ve created with the Argyle EF and the DSP. Yum! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
Thanks Jen! I love the World Spectacular Suite! Have a great weekend.
Wow, Justin, you have used this set so well! Love the patterns and textures! So glad to see you this week at FMS!
Thank you Jennifer! Have a great day!
Such a great card and could work for guys and gals alike! Thanks for inspiration with this set – I have it and haven’t been able to put anything together that I am really excited about. So glad you could play along with us at FMS!
Thanks Jen! It’s probably my favorite product suite in the new catalog.
Clean and perfect, Justin! Great color combination! I love the Argyle embossing! Thanks for playing at Freshly Made Sketches!
Thank you Ann! Have a great day!
