I just had two cards that needed to be made this weekend - Easter for my 27- and 23-year old sons. Easter is a hard one because they really aren't interest in soft pastels and cute little bunnies. But I thought this quirky Sizzix/Tim Holtz Carrot Bunny would work and then when I found paper from Paper Rose in these neutrals, I was ecstatic. Using it all on this sketch gave me a bit of a pause - I really hadn't planned on an oval nor on a small sentiment. Then the lightbulb came on that a sentiment fit on that big carrot. All in all this was a quick and easy card - great products and a fun sketch helped!
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches.
