I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to give up summer. Even with all the back-to-school goings on and all the fall decor popping up across Pinterest and beyond, I’m thinking I still have a lot of sunshine soaking and weekend trips to do before I call it quits. So I’m saluting summer during this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge, and the Simple Stories Summer Fresh 6×6 paper pad was all I needed to mix and match my way to a super sunshiny card.
Okay, so I learned from today’s OWH Midweek Throwdown that I need more pink in my life! I really had to dig for some pink paper that wasn’t covered in hearts or brightly covered polka dots. That being said, I have no idea from what collection these papers came, I wish I had stamped my sentiment higher up on the banner and I’ve discovered a need for a dark gray ink. . . let’s see, that about covers it. Other than those few minor details, it’s not a bad way to fulfill today’s challenge.
This is my interpretation of Operation Write Home’s latest sketch challenge. It was a simple sketch, but with a little embellishing and the right paper I think the possibilities are endless.
I used four coordinating papers from My Mind’s Eye called ”Follow Your Heart – Be Amazing.” I try to pick up these cute 6×6 packs whenever I see a good deal — they are perfect for card making. After I cut, inked and placed all my papers, I simply stamped and embossed the sentiment, added three dots of liquid pearls and attached a little bumble bee brad. I also colored over the bright yellow on the bee with the same liquid pearls just to tone it done a bit.
