Freshly Made Sketches: Kite Greetings

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Jacquie and here’s what I did with it!

 

That curve immediately said "kite" to me! I was surprised to find that I had very few kite options in my stash. This is an older MFT die - it did what I wanted because it let me add a variety of colors.

Then I played around with the greeting for quite a while.  For some reason, I have a tough time visualizing - I have to see it for real - so I can't tell you how many curved panels I have with a variety of stamped sentiments before I remember this die from Frantic Stamper.  I though the style and the curves fit well with a kite!

I didn't originally have the gingham on the side but I didn't like the balance of the card after I cut the "greetings". And since I had already had a large stack of curved panels bound for the trash - I decided just to trim off some of the right side to get a better balance.  I ended up liking the look a lot so a happy mistake!

I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches.
