Sketch Frenzy Friday-I Love Strawberry Slush!

Hi Stampers:

Strawberry Slush is such a fun name for this color, and I love it!  It kind of brings to mind hot summer days, and cool, icy, slushy drinks to sip on a shaded porch!  Welcome to Sketch Frenzy Friday this week!  Wish I could have you over for a cool drink, but since I can't, I hope my card this week helps you envision sunny summer days!  Our sketch this week was created by.....ME, and here it is:

Sketch Frenzy Friday 03-07-14 Almost Monochromatic

Hi Stampers:

Well, it's been a while since I posted for Sketch Frenzy Friday.  If you missed me, I'm sorry.  Let me just say that February was a horrible month for me, but I am back and ready to entertain you with a new SFF post.  Our sketch this week was created by  Marisol:

And here is my creation based on the sketch:

As I said at the top, this is almost a monochromatic look.  I used Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and cut it at 4-14' X 11'.  I cut another piece of Crisp Cantaloupe 4' X 5-14' and used that piece for may stamping and embellishments.  The Crisp Cantaloupe thick bakers' twine and the cork flowers are part of the Sweet Sorbet Accessories that are a FREE item with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration. I love that the flowers are self-stick--makes it easy to just pop them on the card. I also used another FREE SAB item--the Petal Parade stamp set--and stamped the uneven scallops border accent in Early Espresso.  The sentiment is from Sweet Essentials, and is also stamped in Early Espresso.  After stamping and embellishing I mounted the piece of Crisp Cantaloupe with dimensionals onto the base card.  I like this layered monochrome look.

I'll bet you'd like to see what the other designers created!  Just hop over to the Sketch Frenzy Friday Blog and check them out!  And don't forget to join us!  We love to see what you create from our sketches!
