I really like this week sketch on Freshly Made Sketches until I made my card! The papers are some old one which have only a few sheets left and the stamp is designed by Jane Gill for Woodware. But I think its a bit plain so I took the above photo for the challenge.
Then added some Holly and it took the one below I still feel it needs something.
I had forgotten how my joints hate the rain and damp weather hope the sun returns soon.
I think your card is lovely, I especially like the big numbers, it's a great sketch too, Kate x

Morning Debby.
ReplyDeleteI have this stamp and have only used it to make gift tags. Love how you have used it and I personally like the simplicity of the way you have used this sketch. Looks fab. I must admit I do like the holly add on in the second photo, but both card photo's are lovely.

Like the addition of the holly leaves and berries on the second one. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so harsh on your self Debby I really love the first version. ...I sometimes look at my cards and do the same thing but I have started leaving a card over night and looking again the next day and sometimes less is more. Enjoy the bank holiday x
