My rendition:


What I used:



I'm usually not good with sketches that have a lot of little elements and squares, etc. but this one was great! I basically just looked through my scraps to find the paper I wanted to use and voila! I always seem to use lace whenever I see a scallop border. I have to use my massive hoard of lace somehow! I added the flowers just because I felt like it. :P

i love sketches by tsunamirose
My rendition:



To make this card, I used:
  • Glitz Design "Pretty in Pink" striped paper
  • CTMH "Lucy" pink lace paper
  • Sentiment- "Party all day" by Unity
  • Lace from Creating is Fun
  • Misc. pearls
{The shape was cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge}


I liked this sketch a lot because I got to use my two favorite things: LACE & PEARLS :)
It was a little challenging at first, but as soon as I had my paper & embellishments picked out, it went pretty fast! That's always the hardest part.
