Look At This Neat Sketch We Are Using!
It’s Thursday Challenge time at Create With Connie & Mary . I hope you love the sketch we are using today as much as I do, and plan on using it on one of your future cards. Here’s what I did:
The Glorious Gingham Designer Paper really pops against Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis Cardstock layers. I am one to experiment with color choices I use, and I really like how this card ended up. I hand-cut the cupcake image and colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. It’s glued down with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it height:
