Freshly Made Sketches #753

Hello friends, Happy Friday!  I have a card to share for this week's Freshly Made Sketches .  I purchased a cute flower die at Michael's several months ago and decided it would be the perfect embellishment for the center of my card.  I also pulled out a very old 6x6 paper pad that had been neglected for far too long!  

Supplies:

Paper: Indian Summer (GCD Studio)

Accessories: Wildflowers (Recollections), Hello Sentiment cut with the Cricut Maker

Color Hues #140

Hello, friends! I’m back with another card for this week’s Color Hues Challenge.  I had the window die on my desk from using it last week, so I decided to use it again, along with the branch and bird die that I remembered having in my stash.  I thought it was the perfect addition to the window.  I also remembered having some old Stampin' Up! designer paper from many years ago that matches the colors, so I decided to incorporate that as well.  I love giving some of those older supplies in my stash a little love!

Supplies:

Paper: Designer Paper (Stampin' Up!) 

Stamp: Sending Smiles (Hero Arts)

Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)

Accessories: Nestled Bird and the Madison Window (Poppy Stamps), Woodland Branch (Memory Box)
