Good evening! Popping in tonight to share a card I made using this week's sketch over at RetroSketches. I love this sketch. Initially, I was drawn to the scale of it… The focal point of the card is relatively small which leaves quite of bit of "white space" on the card. Interesting…. :)
I have been wanting to make a card for a co-worker of my mother's who just found out not too long ago she is having a little girl… Babies of any variety are fun, but there is something magical about baby girls! Oh, the dresses! And the bows! And the teensy-weensy little shoes! And pink! (Who doesn't love pink???)
So this card is for Angelica and her sweet little baby girl… Congratulations! :)
You'll notice that, even though I was drawn to the scale of the sketch, I didn't create my card with the same proportions… And I have a (really) good reason. I promise. I love, love, love this stamp set from PTI ("Tweet Talk"). But no matter how I try, I find it impossible to stamp these sweet little birds without their tailfeathers (besides, Nelly & P. Diddy wouldn't approve if there weren't some to shake! ;)
And here's the sketch I was working off of:
Thanks for stopping by… I'll be back tomorrow night with a card that made my mother say this: "What did you do to this one?!? I've never seen a card look like that before…" Hmmmm… Not quite sure how to take that… ;)
Have a great Wednesday! :)
Oh this is so darling! Just love how everything works together!
