For some reason, sketches seem to be working me over lately. Maybe it's the rain that has begun to fall outside after close to three months without it -- okay, any excuse will do right about now LOL!I pulled out this heart trimmed circle from my "discard " pile as it is growing faster than my kids right now! Using something from the pile is going to be my MO for the next day, week and month I think! The rest of the card was built around the heart doily.
With such a neutral pallet I tried to bring in a bit of colour, and pink was as good as it got! Next issue became the sentiment panel. It was too "blah", so I added some bling to try to bring the focus to the middle of the card. Card was still "blah" so I added some twine and a pink rose to the bow as well as some pearls around the heart doily. Called it quits after that as I was burned out. Hopefully the next card will flow a lot easier!
Thanks for popping in today :)
