I definitely had Valentines on my mind when I created the sketch with the hearts. I like square cards and I love when things go off the edge. But as usual with Freshly Made Sketches, we welcome your creativity. I stuck with the hearts. My card might be used for Valentines - but I also think it's a "sweet" thank you card!!
My own sketch gave me a few headaches. Funny, huh? I can't tell you how many colors, heart dies and sentiments I had on my table before it was over. I got to the idea of those pierced hearts fairly quickly, then I tried backing them in red and glitter silver, then I tried cutting them out of kraft, then I tried woodgrain on the kraft. Sentiments were a problem too. After trying sentiments on different banners - I ended up with this die cut "sweet" - and finally decided that pink and white made sense!! I swear - I can make even a simple card into a long drawn-out process. It's lucky that I love every step!
I am very excited to see what you do with this sketch. It is amazing to see a few lines and shapes that I drew on paper, turn into an entire gallery of gorgeous cards!

ReplyDeleteFunny how our own sketches give us the most trouble! You've done a great job with this one. Don't even want to work out the process to get the two different colors under your pierced hearts. It's just enough to know that this looks fabulous!
