Welcome back to a new year of challenges from Freshly Made Sketches! This week our favorite Texan, Amy, is our hostess and she's cooked up a beauty for us!
This card was a topsy-turvy journey for me! My first card idea involved layers and flowers. But the colors were wrong, the flowers were wrong, the layers were wrong, so I scrapped it. Then I remembered these bow images and thought I could stamp them and draw vertical lines to each one so that they seemed to be dangling. To accommodate the rest of the sketch I drew in a rectangle design and tucked in a sentiment on the vertical side.
I do love a one-layer design and some go together for me easier than others. Despite my early troubles, this one ended up being perfect to my eyes!
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check out the amazing cards that our Freshly Made Sketches design team has made to inspire you to play along with us!
