Well hello! I've been MIA on my blog for a few weeks enjoying a holiday break, but I'm back today with a brand new card for our challenge at Freshly Made Sketches! We are starting off the new year with a fun sketch from Amy and I surprised myself by making a Valentine. Usually the new year has me nostalgic for more Christmas cards but this year I've apparently started a new trend!
Those squares on the sketch became an arrangement of hearts on my card and I added a slim sentiment across them. To create some interest on the background I embossed it in a diamond pattern and added a bit of color at the top and bottom. All in all a super easy card to create!
Thanks for stopping by! Our amazing Freshly Made Sketches design team has some made great cards to inspire you to play along with us so be sure to check them out!
