Hi and welcome to another fabulous sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our hostess is the super-talented Jen Mitchell and she has a square card sketch for us! I love square cards, and definitely don't make them enough, so this was a fun challenge.
I played with some new toys for my card. I seem to be always playing with new toys, don't I? I think I have a problem :)
I did some ink blending on a panel of watercolor paper and die-cut it with Stitched Basic Edges die. That panel was popped up on foam tape onto a 5" square white card base. I stamped, Copic-colored and die-cut the girl before popping her up on foam tape as well. The sentiment comes from Polynesian Paradise and I thought it suited the image nicely. Lastly I added some clear droplets.
Thanks for visiting. Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's fabulous creations. They're sure to inspire!
