I normally follow sketches almost exactly. I know they are supposed to be an inspiration and we are to use our creativity, but I find it more of a challenge to come up with ideas to make the exact sketch work. But I broke my own "rules" this week - I flipped the sketch sideways, I used a standard sized card instead of a square and the three circles became three clouds!
The stamp is from Eat Cake Graphics. Years ago, I made a Christmas card for our church card rack - the image on the card was so popular that I have had people request cards with this image every year since. If you want a good chuckle to start your day - check this out! (BTW - this image and other popular Eat Cake Graphics images are also available in quilt patterns. That's one hobby I refuse to even try because I seem to fall in love with EVERYTHING I try and I have enough card supplies, knitting yarn and patterns, and...going back in time...cross stitch floss, cloth and patterns to last a dozen lifetimes!)
By following along with Jen's sketches all year, I am eligible for a prize package - but to qualify, I need to list all of my previous posts here. If you are a follower, you have seen all of these before - but I need to show Jen that I did it!! Fingers crossed!!
