Hello! I created a card today for Try A Sketch on Tuesday - Challenge #692. To play along, click the link (HERE) For the sketch, I needed a square element for the center focal point. I had cut a heart out of a panel with rainbow strips earlier in the week, and decided to put this extra piece to use! The cutting die came from Honey Bee Stamps called - Radiating Heart. After I ran the panel with the heart die, I ran it through with a square nesting frame. This is a larger square, so the finished card is 5 x 7 inches. I added a piece of scrap book paper with tiny polka dots in the background. I rotated my strips so they would run horizontally. Vertically was too hidden! The dies used for the rounded corner rectangle came from Simon Says Stamp - Artful Palette dies. (I use these dies all the time! They are so handy) I used Coastal Cabana cardstock (SU), and Poppy Parade (SU). The sentiment is from A - Muse stamps called Label Make...
I’m glad you stopped by! I have always enjoyed art, and was introduced to card making about 12 years ago. From there, the ability to create a variety of styles provides a therapeutic outlet to each day. You will find several card challenges, and themes which might inspire you to try something new. Enjoy!
