Sketch Frenzy Friday-1-21-11--Back to MDS

Hi Stampers!



Well, once again I am back to using MDS for the Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge. Today's sketch was given to us by Melissa Hedine-Tootle, and I REALLY like it! Here it is:









With my interpretation, I had a little bit of difficulty deciding how to do the scallops in MDS. I don't know how Melissa did hers, but for mine I used the wide scallop oval punch overlapped to create the scallops. Here is my take on the sketch:




The card base is textured Old Olive cardstock with a layer of Whisper White on top. The scallops as mentioned before were created with the wide oval punch and colored Old Olive. The flourish and the sentiment are from the Baroque Motifs stamp brush set. I really don't use the Baroque Motifs set very often-either the live set or the MDS set, so this is a change for me. I colored the flourish Certainly Celery, and the sentiment is Early Espresso.

It's Sketch Frenzy Friday!

Hi Stampers:



Today we have a sketch by Brenda:

I chose to follow the layout closely, and created this card in MDS:

I used Crumb Cake, Peach Parfait, Certainly Celery and Chocolate Chip for my colors. The faux ribbon across the card is Chocolate Chip stitching--one of the embellishments in MDS. In addition, I created my own sentiment and typed it on the card.

Sketch Frenzy Friday #4

Hi Stampers!

It's that time again! Sketch Frenzy Friday returns for week 4. I have been having a ball trying out different ways to show off these sketches. The first time I participated-week 2--I did traditional stamping. For week 3, I used a Simply Scrappin' kit. THIS week I decided to use My Digital Studio to create my sample. How did I do? You be the judge!!

Here's the sketch (template)

And here's my interpretation:

The colors I used are Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery, Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, and Melon Mambo. The stamp image and the sentiment are from the Upsy Daisy stamp set in MDS, and I moved the opacity to a lower setting to mute the colors a little bit. I used the square punch image for the background of the three flower images, and also for the curly label punch image. The Certainly Celery rectangle is the square punch image resized and filled with color. I think MDS is a GREAT way to create a project of any kind!
