This is my last sample card as a Sketch Challenge Design Team member; it sure has been a lot of fun! This sketch is from Janette, and this card especially comes from my heart. My son moved out at 18 to his own place and job instead of college. It was a really hard time for me right before he moved out as it was soooooo clear that he didn't want to be with us at that point in time. It has been about a year and a half, and he is now deciding that he wants to go to college in the fall and asked if he could move home until then. Um, let me think about that....YES!!!! So, this is in celebration of my DS back under our roof!
I made a 5x7 card and my oval is oversized, but I wanted to fit the entire blueprint image. I stamped it in Midnight Muse then stamped my clear stamp letters in Onyx, curving them around the top edge of my oval. I sponged chalk ink through dry wall mesh to add some more color and texture. It still needed a little something else so I decided to add some hearts and what is more homey than gingham? I sponged a bit around the edges of those in Real Red. My bg and strip are dry embossed. I used a piercing tool and added my screw brads in the corners. I stuck a big bag of my son's favorite Twizzlers inside and it made a nice tangible way to welcome him home.
