Freshly Made Sketches #208 - A Sketch By Cindy H


Today's card is for Freshly Made Sketches #208 - A Sketch By Cindy H  and this is her fabulous sketch.

Now, this has always been one of my most favourite challenges, but I have neglected it of late, life has got in the way, holidays, internet problems, cataloguing and indexing over 450 stamp sets . . . you all know what it's like!

Now that I have all my clear stamps catalogued and out of the way, I decided to have a nice break from the grind and join in some challenges, so here is one for the ladies over at FMS, to say sorry for neglecting them!

I would also like to link this one to Addicted To CAS #74 Challenge where the code word is

http://addictedtocas.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/challenge-74-sparkle.html

I have turned the FMS sketch around and mixed it up a little and this is the card.









A lot of the card was elements I had made up previously and had been 'kicking around', so I thought it was about time I used some of it.

Thank you for visiting today and for all your comments!  I hope you are having a lovely weekend!  Until the next time!  Hazel xx

    We've missed you at FMS Hazel! Glad to see you are getting back into the swing of things! Once again you've created a beauty. I'm a big fan of black, white and a pop of color and yellow happens to be one of my faves. I love the bold flower and the delicate branch. A fabulous design!

    450 stamp sets??? Wow, that is some collection you have there. Do you think you will still use them all and did you find some that you had forgotten about?? I'm sure the ladies at FMS will love this card. The flower is so gorgeous and the black/white/gold combo is so stylish.
