Hi, sweet friends! It's me again with another card this week. I used some new DP that I had hoped to use for a baby card (but all boys so far), so I made this card for a sketch challenge for Power Poppy's new Power & Spark Challenge in collaboration with PageMaps.com. I truly struggle with sketches, so this was a good creative stretch for me.
I chose the peonies and used the bitty flower bud to put in the heart shape on the sketch, and I colored it quickly and then die cut everything out. I am surprised that I actually enjoyed doing this one. Perhaps I'll have to try a sketch one of these days.
Thank you so much for taking a closer look at my card, and I hope you are keeping warm! It's pretty cool even here in South Florida! Warm hugs, sweet friends!
