Get Well Wishes #638 Freshly Made Sketches Challenge

Narell and the design team at Freshly Made Sketches have posted another beautiful sketch.  I liked the clean and simple design of the sketch, so I decided to use it for a get well card I was planning on making.  Here's this week's sketch:

HERE IS MY CARD: 

I pulled a stamp set from my collection called Cheerful Basket to use as the focal point for my card.  Here is my version of the sketch:

Sincere Salutations was one of the first stamp sets I bought from Stampin' Up! back in 2006 when I joined, and although it's retired I'm still using it to this day. 


Cheerful Baskets #158674R 
I covered the surface of the apples once they were coloured with blends, with a glazing product called Nuvo Drops.  This makes the surface shine and look like  real little apples.  What fun! 

When I'm working on a sketch I like to make notes of the supplies used and samples of what was stamped or cut out.  It really helps me remember how the card went together. 

I didn't take a picture of the inside of the card, but quite simply, I matted a piece of Whisper White onto a base of Sweet Sorbet and adhered this to the card base.  I stamped "Get Well" from the Sincere Salutations stamp set
 in Momento Tuxedo Black ink .  




Thanks for dropping by.  Leave me a comment if you like this card or if you have any questions about how it was made.  Cheers!

HAPPY STAMPING
