Freshly Made Sketches: Sweet Tulip
It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and I created it!
I came up with this sketch because of a die that I had just gotten. It feels a little like cheating to have a head start!! But I actually get a little nervous when it's my turn to come up with the sketch because I want everybody to enjoy it - so I have to have some sort of plan as to whether the sketch will work. Having the die in front of me told me I could make it work!
I think this little tulip is just charming. I layered it up three times, then I used a couple of different Doodlebug 6x6 pads so I had coordinating colors in a variety of different patterns. With all of the patterns, I put the sentiment on black so it would stand out. I have a tough time using black just for the sentiment because I feel like it's not balanced, so I added a few Doodlebug Sprinkles and a baker's twine bow. The sentiment is also Simon Says - I thought the encouraging words worked with the sweet tulip and cheery colors.
I hope to see you playing along - I look forward to browsing the gallery and being inspired by all the entirely different cards that are based on the same sketch.
