I think I might have brought you the most boring sketch ever but I hope you don't look at it that way. Maybe it's just me, but I buy big sentiment stamps or dies and then I can never quite figure out how to use them. It seems too lazy just to plop them on a great piece of dsp or on a sponged wash of color or on an embossed background - but it isn't. And I want to get over that feeling because those big beautiful sentiments can stand alone.
I hope to see you play along with us at Freshly Made Sketches. Use a big sentiment and then do what you will in the background. Keep it simple or go crazy! I look forward to seeing your creations.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I love that big sentiment, especially this one. Your blue embossed background is perfect with it. I think you did a great job on the sketch also.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much I LOVE this sketch, Kim!! I also love your fabulous die taking center stage on the blue embossed background.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED your layout this week Kim - so much fabulous inspiration for those large stamps and dies which I love too! I usually go really clean and simple with mine - so I did use a DSP for a change! Turns out I used the same words and colour scheme as you too - a happy coincidence! I love the effect of the embossed background on your card - I am going to give this a try with some of my other stamps and dies. A beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteI loved your sketch idea this week! We don't use those big sentiments enough! Your embossed backdrop is perfect on your card to show off the sentiment!
