Hi Everyone
I hope your week has got off to a good start. Today was gorgeous sunshine here which is always lovely to see.
Things have been really busy with Mum these last few weeks but in little fits and starts I have managed to pull in a bit of "crafty time". Crafting is my escape place where I manage to switch off and calm my rather over-active worrying brain.
This is a card for taking over to the As You Like It Challenge where they would like to see you put your favourite sketch or layout put to good use.
So with 57 square sketches in my collection and 24 rectangular ones I wasn't short of sketches to choose from, the only problem deciding which was my favourite because I like them all.
I have always had a soft spot for Sketch #2 though which looks like this - mainly I think because some of my favourite cards have been made using this layout and it uses up lots of snippets

Backing Papers: DCWV "Nana's Nursery - Baby Boy
Sentiment: Polkadoodles "PD7995" Super Sentiments
I know quite a few people don't enjoy working with sketches (we are all different, thankfully) but I must admit I find they save me loads of time as they take away a lot of decision making. Once I have selected which one to use I know exactly where I am going before I even start creating.
One of my missions at the moment is to use up some of the design paper pads I have which have only a few pages and snippets left in them, and utilise images I already have ready and waiting to be used and this card did just that.
Anyway, that is me for today and I will hopefully catch you soon.
Gorgeous butterfly image Jules and great use of the sketch with your pretty papers xx❤️
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Jules, I love the colour combination. I'm one of those people who usually shy from using sketches. Seeing your wonderful creations, I really ought to go out of my comfort zone.

ReplyDeleteThat layout really works well to showcase your butterfly. I think I am going to have to try and practice with sketches a bit more xx
ReplyDeleteYour card showcases such a lovely balance of color and texture. The butterfly image is stunning, and the layered elements really bring the design to life. Using sketches sounds like a fantastic way to streamline the creative process while still leaving room for personal flair. This layout truly highlights your talent.
