May Card Sketch #1

Wednesday, May 7, 2008

Happy May! Here is the first of the card sketches for May.


When I drew this sketch I had a firm plan in my mind to use the panel on the right for a gift card. I mean it's perfect for it. However when I came to making the card it kinda took on a life of it's own, as sketch cards sometimes do.

As you can tell I have some new stamps :) Loving stamps right now, and pretty much anything gets stamped lately! These stamps are by 7Gypsies (frame) and Komodo Inc (floral). Not easy to tell but the rub on sentiment is lightly chalked as the white letters were a little too stark, and the stamping is highlighted with glitter pen (another new thing that I am loving! Sakura rocks!).
