Freshly Made Sketches: Sunshine Vibes

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by me that I based on a Christmas card that I did last year and particularly liked (found here). Here’s what I did with it this time.

Make It Better

I didn't quite follow my own sketch.  I had a plan that was going to be exact but guess what showed up unexpectedly the night before I was making the card - my order from the new Stampin' Up catalog and I had no choice but to play with it. I pulled out the open rainbow from Sunshine Vibes but I had to use a fairly wide panel to fit it horizontally which obviously made the panel taller vertically too. That meant I had a lot of space below it for a sentiment but not off the edge as it is in the sketch (and in my original Christmas card.)  You'd think I could follow my sketch, wouldn't you?!

I get so excited when I do the sketch.  I have a firm idea in my head of what the sketch is - then you all blow my mind each time with your creative ideas.  I look forwarded to visiting each and every card that shows up in the gallery.  Have fun!

  2. I love this sketch Kim and your rainbow card is a great way to showcase both it and your new goodies! Great minds think alike - I also had some new goodies arrive this week and your sketch was perfect to showcase them, so I’ll be sharing with my Paper Players card on Sunday!
