I am really enjoying these sketch challenges. They inspire me to try new layouts and help me with creating new cards. When I just start from scratch I have a hard time deciding on the layout, so this has been a wonderful way to get my creative juices flowing!
For this sketch I used the Always stamp set. It’s so pretty. I stamped the bird in pacific point and cut it out and mounted it with dimensionals. I stamped the heart in baja breeze and then rocked and rolled it in pacific point and trimmed it out and mounted it on dimensionals as well. I originally had a strip of kiwi kiss but it didn’t looks right so I used some always artichoke. I think it compliments the blues a bit better. I added some of the new kiwi kiss/very vanilla satin ribbon around the side as well.
So what inspires you to get your creative juices flowing?

This was a simple card that can be put together in a jiffy for a birthday. I used the Happy Birthday from the Punch Bunch stamp set and layered it on a scalloped square. I wheeled the three new builder wheels – Delight in Gladness, Butterfly Bliss, and Pleasing Polka Dots – in river rock…
Easter Blossoms is one of my new favorite stamp sets! This card was inspired by Wendy’s card. I love the silhouette of the little girl with her basket of eggs. It reminds me of my daughter who loves to collect eggs for Easter! I also love the blossoms on the tree. I can see this…
