Here is another card for this week's freshly made sketches challenge.

I was at our local Joann's craft store today and they had a bunch of their stamp and cuts on clearance and their embossing folders were 40% off.

So, I bought this tropical border embossing folder.

The flamingo and the leaves are from the Fiskars Tropical Getaway clear stamp set. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.
The flamingo is stamped onto white paper and colored in with copic markers. Then I cut it out and used double-sided adhesives to adhere them to my card base. I used a green ink from StudioG for the leaves. After stamping it on white paper, I cut it out as well and used adhesives to adhere it.

Supplies used are :

Pastel pink cardstock,

White cardstock,

Tropical Getaway clear stamp set,

Tropical border embossing folder,

Rainbow ribbon,

Black ink.

I stamped the leaf directly onto the card base and then stamped and cut out the flower, which is adhered onto the leaf with a double-sided adhesive circle.

Just a note...

#631-2020-02.

I was on Facebook and I saw a card that was made by Tami White and she gave a brief description of how to make a perfect circle on a card. So I gave it a try and here is the result.

First, I made my own circle stencil by taking a circle die and cutting out a circle using a piece of poster board. Then I layed it on top of the piece of cardstock that I used for my picture. 

Then I stamped the lighthouse and cut it out and then I briefly taped it down so I could sponge on the sunset colors.

After doing this, I removed the temporary lighthouse that I used for a guide for the sunset and then I stamped the lighthouse on in place of the temporary one.

Then I used a yellow copic marker to color the door and the top of the lighthouse. I used a red colored pencil on the lighthouse.

The sentiment is from the stamp set pictured above. It's from M.S. Sparkle and Co. I stamped it and hand cut it out and the used double-sided adhesives to adhere it to the card. The birds are from a stencil that I have. The stamp set that has the lighthouse is called "Coastal".
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my card. I made it for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I sponged on the blue background after I stamped on the bird on a branch.

Then I used copic markers to color the branches and I used a black colored pencil to highlight the bird.
The sentiment is from a little clear stamp set that came with a banner die from M.S. Sparkle and Co.
Then I added the pearls and highlighted the edges of the banners.

The layout design for this card is from this week's freshly made sketches challenge.
I hope you've enjoyed my card for this week's challenge.
