Freshly Made Sketches {Just Because}

Happy Wednesday! We have a brand new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches from Jennifer Brum and I LOVE it. I used a stamp set from MFT Stamps that is retired and a sentiment set from Simon Says Stamp.


Are you intimidated by the slice through the paper? I was at first but then I discovered a little trick!

1. Cut your top layer to be 4" x 5"-cut 2 layers in the colours you want.
2. Then put both pieces together on your cutter and slice the diagonal through it.
3. Then line up the pieces on your card as you would like!
4. There should be a 1/4" space between the pieces now...I hope that makes sense

I created the stain glassed flowers again. I shared how to make these flowers on my post found HERE.
