JUST ADD - A SKETCH

Another sketch challenge for you this week from JUST ADD INK:

I combined two projects in one here, trying to work smarter.  If you Design and enter a lot of challenges, as I do, then you really need to be kind to yourself by working this way!!  I need to remind myself of that, sometimes, lol

A lovely friend of mine, Sam Post, recently welcomed a new addition to her family and I wanted to send her a card to let her know I was thrilled about the new addition to their family.  The sketch fitted exactly what I had in mind.

I love this retired Stampin' Up! set and don't use it often enough.  No point having sets gathering dust!!  I love the sweet little sentiment too.  I have stamped the rabbit on watercolour paper with Staz On and used my Aqua painters to colour the image.  I have taken it one step further and fussy cut around the bunny and popped him on the card with Dimensionals.  It really gives the card front a 3D look!

Sketches are always a great starting point when you need some inspiration in a hurry!  I really liked this one and didn't want to alter the sketch at all.

Pop on over to the Design Gallery to see what the rest of the Design Team have come up with this week!

    This is such a beautiful card, Paula. I don't often use blue in my cards, but I LOVE how this looks. The 'popped up' bunny is perfect.
