SC419 - Valentine

Photo Details

Poster: BobbiesGirl

My card for today's sketch. I stamped a LeBlanche flower in SU Eggplant Envy on the Background DP. Then I added the cut, inked Spellbinders deckled rectangles - the center one stamped with My Sentiments Exactly from Hobby Lobby. The rectangles are scraps. I used part of the purple scrap for the bottom piece and added brads to match (IRL they really do) Oh, I forgot the stitching. It needed more of a homey look. I like it.

Carol, I like your approach to the sketch by making the back panel have a lot of interest and keeping the foreground ones simple. Makes for a wonderful card.

Love this! I thought for sure that background was burlap. It looks so realistic! This is SO unique!

What a clever idea to stamp the flower image in the background and then add the sentiment to the side of the second panel....sooo creative and lovely, Carol!!!

Your stitched accents make the dp appear as fabric!
