February is the month of hearts and loving messages. I enjoy sending cards and notes to my friends near and far.
The new challenge at Try A Sketch A Sketch on Tuesday does have a heart, though you are welcome to substitute any shape for that element.
I used a new cover plate die from Gina K Designs but cut two and joined them and backed with a pink card front. It's more of an oval than circle, but still fine for the sketch I think. I had some pink and gold scraps from an alcohol ink fun day and cut them into hearts. I selected a deeper pink strip, white heart embossed the sentiment, and backed it with some matte gold card. The pretty pattern seemed enough without extra embellishment.
Note that this sketch does not have a sentiment, no sentiment is required but feel free to add one if you choose. Please check out the rest of the Design Team inspiration at TSOT and we would love to see what you create with this sketch!
Pretty, indeed! Your choice of colors is lovely, Dena, and I am loving how you used the cover plate. (I may need to explore Gina K's shop!)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to cut two images and piece them together - your card is gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and creative card! Love the cover plate die and the hearts are cool with the alcohol inks technique! :)
ReplyDeleteThe background die is beautiful and made an excellent piece for the sketch... so pretty.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Dena! Love the open lacey look of your "oval" and it works perfectly for the sketch!
ReplyDeleteThat cover plate is awesome and it made for a beautiful center point on your card. So very pretty.
