This week’s challenge at Create with Connie and Mary is a sketch. I decided to go with a summery general greeting – and believe me, it was tough to put aside my holiday sneak peek products! I know I will miss these brights as we head into fall, though, so I did create a bright card. It sort of resembles the sketch. 🙂
The sunshine stamp is from “Silhouettes & Script”. I inked it in Daffodil Delight, and then I rolled the edges in Crushed Curry before stamping. The rest of the stamps are from “Sprinkles of Life”. The original plan was to use banners, as per the sketch, but the clouds just worked better. Sometimes the sketches are just a starting point.
This will be a great card to send to my daughter Jen this week as she gets settled in for a new school year. Today is actually her move-in day, and I have always called her “Sunshine”. I am handling Jen’s departure a little better this year, but now the reality of Julia’s senior year of high school is setting in. Tuesday was her first day of school (for the last time!!) Next it will be college apps for her and before we know it…empty house! I should be a real mess at this time next year!
Thank you for checking out my challenge card. Please visit Create with Connie and Mary to see all of the cards created by our talented design team! I saw the cards in our gallery yesterday, and there is a great mix of current product and sneak peek product.
