#sketchmayhem365 day 23

Back again with another of the sketches that Martin has shared for #sketchmayhem365 – this time day 23

For this one I had some leftover embossed card pieces on my desk from another project so used that to look for a sketch rather than starting with the sketch and no ideas! And this sketch with the horizontal panel worked great.

I chose to use a floral to represent the circle and then a two part sentiment rather than a bow but otherwise the sketch is very obvious.

Used the Altenew Smile More stamp set and the Lawn Fawn for the sentiment.

The embossed and distressed panel were leftover from a project I will share soon (can’t do a spoiler as it’s for my Aunties birthday) – I used the Kingston Crafts cardstock throughout the card – love embossing and sanding it back to reveal the white core.

Raised the flower and sentiment up for dimension – the shadow from the sunshine when I took the photo makes this look very raised but it was only foam adhesive tabs!

Thanks for the inspiration Martin. And for those that like to watch a process video please check out my YouTube channel as I recorded this one!

Happy crafting!
