Freshly Made Sketches #75 - A Sketch by Tui


Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches!  Each week, one member of our design team creates a sketch for you to try, the twist is to keep your project clean-lined and fresh!
The "Clean Team" has come up with some "Freshly Made" designs to get you in the spirit! We are so excited to visit your blog and to see what YOU create with our sketch!



Tui here with this weeks new sketch.  I made this sketch with the idea of a large panel for you to showcase your colouring skills with some large stamps, or try a collection/collage of stamped and layered images, you may even have some gorgeous patterned paper that is just waiting to be adorned.  Just let your creativity shine, but above all enjoy and have fun!

We have a bittersweet announcement for you this week.  This challenge will be the last for Tui as as design team member.  She has been provided some amazing opportunities that will take up a bit more of her time and has stepped down as a team member.  Like you, we have been inspired every week by Tui's talent and will miss seeing her every week.  She has promised to "drop in" to the gallery when time permits and we will look forward to those designs!  Please make sure you make a special trip by Tui's blog to give her a fond farewell!

With this change, we will have more announcements to make next week.  Stay tuned on Tuesday for more!  Now on to the team's cards!


We have a few simple rules to keep things fun and fair for all of our players:
  1. Please use any crafting product you would like to use.
  2. Feel free to combine our sketch with up to THREE other challenges.
  3. Please add a DIRECT link to your blog when adding your card to the linky below.  If uploading to a public gallery, please use keyword FMS75.
  4. Please include our sketch and a link back to Freshly Made Sketches on your post.
  5. Have fun!
This challenge will end on Monday, March 4th at Noon (PST). On Tuesday, we will be announcing the winner of this week's sketch challenge who will known as the "Queen of Clean" and each Design Team Member will choose one "Princess".

Winners For Sketch 74

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and Allisa has chosen her Queen!


The Queen of Clean:  Jenny of Giddy Stamper


Thanks so much to everyone that played along with my sketch this week. I enjoyed each and everyone of your cards!  It was quite the challenge picking a Queen this week!

Jenny's card stood out to me with her gorgeous layering of her background stamps and the delightful fussy cut flowers. I love the added texture with her trio of banners.  The pearl details are the perfect finishing touch.
Congrats Jenny, on being the Queen of Clean this week!  


Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new challenge from Tui!

The Queen of Clean:  Judy of Just Judy Designs




I was so excited to see that so many played along with my sketch this week and I enjoyed each and every card so much!  It was quite the challenge picking a Queen this week!

I chose Judy's card because despite there being many elements on her card, it's still clean, crisp and beautiful!  I love the colours Judy has chosen.  I really love those carefully cut flowers and that row of embossed faux stitches!  Of course that row of beautiful pearls sealed the deal!
Congrats Judy, on being the Queen of Clean this week!

Winners For Sketch 72

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and Cindy has chosen her Queen!


The Queen of Clean:  Sandra of Sandra's Stamping Spot



I was so thrilled to see that so many played along with my sketch this week and I enjoyed each and every card so much that I was tortured by having to pick only one to be crowned the Queen of Clean. 

I chose Sandra's card not only because Pure Innocence always captures my heart, but more importantly, because Sandra's impecable paper piecing, use of elements and colors, stitching, and overall design prove once again that Clean does not mean boring! 
Congrats, Sandra, on being the Queen of Clean this week!  


Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new challenge from Jen B!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the challenge this week - I loved seeing all of the creative ways you worked that tag! Libby's fresh and clean design caught my eye right away.  It is simple but striking!  And when I took a second look and saw that the tag carried a message and was removable I was sold!  Congrats, Libby, on being the Queen of Clean this week!
