And I'm also pleased to announce that the superbly talented Hannelie Bester is joining us this month as our guest designer. She, of course, needs no introduction...but I will gush that I love how she uses her Silhouette AND designs the most fabulous sentiments and provides them as free digis on her blog! If you don't know Hannelie I encourage you to pop on over to her blog and be prepared to be wowed! Now, onto my card and the sketch!
I didn't exactly follow my own sketch because I forgot that I had created a couple of layers, but the spirit of the sketch is there! I actually never exactly know what kind of card I'm going to create when I design my sketch but I had a vague idea here of filling the bottom of the card with colorful shapes and overlaying that with a bold sentiment. Then when it came time to sit at my desk and actually make a card I came across the Less is More challenge of black + white + another color. Yellow is my go to pick for that kind of challenge so I grabbed this pretty outline flower stamp and stamped away. (It's an oldy but goody I've had in my stash for a few years so that qualifies me for the Anything Goes challenge at Retro Rubber too). Rather than a bold sentiment, I opted for a small single line that I stamped on a strip of cardstock and adhered with foam tape.
I'm sure you've already checked out the creations from the design team at Freshly Made Sketches but just in case you haven't I encourage you to drop everything and do it now! They have really created some wonders! I hope we'll see you in the gallery!
Thanks for stopping by!
