So I couldn’t stop with just two cards for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge, because the sketch was such a great jumping off spot for all kinds of fun ideas. For this interpretation, I flipped the card on its side and turned it into a sunflower shaker.

The First of Many Corona Craziness Cards
With all the Corona craziness going on right now, it’s nice to know that my years of stockpiling craft supplies might actually payoff during the next few weeks. I’m serious folks, I could crop and create for years and probably still have enough. But let’s take this extra stay-at-home stuff one step at a time and take a look at how I spent some of my Sunday evening.
Octopied with My First 2019 Freshly Made Sketches Challenge
I’m late-night posting this evening because my heart is still pounding from the heart breaking AFC championship game. Our Chiefs gave it a great go, and after a short grieving period I’m sure I will be looking forward to next year!
Although my head is elsewhere, l guess I should get to the business at hand, and that would be this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I decided to whip up a card today and discovered I was feeling a little fishy. For Christmas my sister gave me a collection of paper and embellishments from Bella Blvd’s “Secrets of the Sea,” and that is where I found my inspiration.
All the papers, inside and out, and the washi tape strip came from the “Secrets of the Sea” collection. Of course I inked all my edges and I added blue sequins in various shades to mimic bubbles. The octopus and his tie came from Lawn Fawn and the inside sentiment and bubbles came from that same stamp collection. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I bet one of my boys gets this super cute sea-themed card cheerfully signed by me.
