Feather Hugs SC521

Photo Details

Poster: kiagc

This is for the sketch challenge today. I decided to use my dp as the focal. I added IO Heart Dies, a couple embossed with Crafts Too Hearts and edged with either the corduroy or the cream white. The larger die I printed hugs on and distressed the edges then added the corduroy. Getting over my fear of messing it up, I added some gesso with my baby finger - then rubbed off trying to make it lighter, some are good, some not so much! But I didn't have to throw it out! Added some pearls to finish. Thanks for the sketch and for looking.
Happy New Year to everyone.

Kia, you used that huge "open space" in such a lovely way on this romantic valentine. A beautiful card.

Your DP looks so pretty, and using the hearts up in the corner was a good choice! Lovely card!
