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!!

So cute!! I love the stitching on your squares and rectangles and that sentiment is perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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♥️
ReplyDeleteI am feeling rusty as well but I think you have shaken it off! The colorful squares are perfect with the white sentiment!
