Freshly Made Sketches: Happy Day!

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!


At the time I was getting a card ready for this challenge, I also needed a birthday card for my youngest niece who turns 7 on Monday.  This was a situation in which the sketch truly was an inspiration.  I know, I know - challenges are also supposed to inspire - but many times I really have to work to find stamps that fit a sketch.  It's less "inspiration" and more trial-and-error.  In this case, I looked at it and immediately saw the stamps that I would be using.  Clearly that big heart is actually a bunny jumping out of the grass!!

Happy Day

I hope to see you all playing along with this sketch - I am excited to see how many ways the big heart and little heart can be interpreted!

SUPPLY LIST

The green is a Wild Wasabi print from an earlier version of the Backgrounds Designer Series Paper Pack.

  6. Perfectly cute, especially for a little girl. And I love how you've used the little butterflies for the element in the top corner -- very clever. She'll love this.
