The whole idea came out of the heart paper, I just love the color combos and how sweet they are. It was a gift from Claire this summer and I've been a bit precious about that set - but as this is a scrap I used a fairly big piece guilt free. The green piece is also a scrap and I embossed him using an ancient diamond folder, one of the very first embossing folders I ever got. The sweet hello is from a set that I bought off of Jenn Shurkas who was selling off her old stash and I got in there lightning quick! I punched a little heart and covered it in Enamel Accents to give it a bit texture as all the paper looked a bit flat.
This one doesn't work to the challenge but as I used the same scraps (hearts and pink border) I thought I'd showcase it here as a freebie. The elephant is a stamp/die from Sizzix that I got in the Black Friday sale, and the sentiment is the same set. The backing paper is a scrap from the Neapolitan stack from Recollections that I have been so precious with but as this is for a colleague I decided to get over myself and just use it! The little white enamel dots add a bit of lightness.
As I was struggling this weekend I wanted a craft session to be super simple and not too fussy and I'm happy with the result of both of these :)
I love this card man, the soft colours and the super simple, but detailed sentiment. Great way to work the sketch too. Thank you for joining me at Sketch Saturday this week. And thanks for the fun playdate. Cx
ReplyDeleteSuper cute cards!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the challenge at SKETCH SATURDAY!!
Both cards are fun. Good to see your mojo returning (It's hard when that disappears, isn't it?!) Please come back for the next challenge on the Sketch Saturday blog.
