Freshly Made Sketches: Hello in Squares

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Welcome back after our holiday break!! Today we have a sketch by Amy and here’s what I did with it!
 
Hello Squares

After taking a few weeks off over the holiday, I felt very rusty sitting down to make a card. I did have an earlier post this week, but the card for this post was actually the first card I made after taking a few weeks off for the holiday.  Thank goodness for the sketch. If you look carefully, I followed it almost exactly with the shapes and the angles - it really helped get me going again!

I thought the quirky layout just begged for a classic Paper Smooches die from the Hello Words set.  Then I just needed a cute little flower an a gem to decorate it.  Completely quick and easy but the fun sketch gave it all the interest it needed!

I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!!

    What a cheerful way to start off the new year, Kim this is cute! I felt the same way, it was hard to get back into the swing of things!

    I know the feeling, Kim! I need to make about 20 Valentines Day cards for the shop I sell in and am having a hard time getting it together. I think I’ll use this sketch to get started! I always love your cards and blog♥️

    These colours work beautifully side-by-side! And the die-cut word on top ties everything together perfectly.
