Freshly Made Sketches to the Rescue
We were up very early this morning getting my youngest and my husband ready for an all-day lacrosse tournament. At 6 a.m., my hubby asked whether I had made the two bar mitzvah cards that he needed. Excuse me? I think I would have remembered him asking that as I have no stamps for it and no idea what to do! I quickly searched on bar mitzvah, realized that the cards really could be any style, downloaded a free image - and then, most importantly, found a sketch challenge that made my job easier. Freshly Made Sketches to the rescue!!
I thought the sketch was perfect. Since I kept everything black and white, the card reflects the seriousness of the event, yet the cute little flags give it some fun - particularly since these are 13-year old boys.
I love this Kim! Fabulous in black and white!!
ReplyDeleteMega impressed! I think this is absolutely super, perfectly clean and simple. And considering you had very little notice totally brilliant! Men!!
ReplyDeleteWow...fab...love it. Don't you hate it when the man in your life says...remember...I told you...when they really didn't tell you. I'm sure you wouldn't forget having to make cards...we never forget fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteYour card caught my eye, as I am often making Bar or Bat Mitzvah cards! I wanted to tell you that you did a really great job, and that was before I learned that you had NO notice at all.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I'll have to pin this for future potential use - I think this is perfect for a 13 year old boy!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, Kim ... you created this black and white stunner in no time at all? Awesome! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this card and challenge!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards! So smart to look for an Internet image to use!
ReplyDeleteLovely card Kim! I love that black and white! Very elegant! That embossed background is fabulous! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteHubby doesn't often spring this on me ... But my kids do it all the time! Great 'winging it' job, Kim! Hugs xxx

ReplyDeleteA striking card with this sketch! Love the black and white patterns you chose for the label and the single strand of baker's twine. Makes your focal point Star of David really shine!
ReplyDeleteI meant the black and white patterns you chose for the BANNERS, eek! :)
