We have a Sketch Challenge (PPA137) at Pals Paper Arts for you to try this week! I designed this sketch using two circles that can be used to feature focal images, embellishments, or sentiments! The possibilities are endless! For my get well card, I was inspired by the circle flower design found on the Summer Smooches DSP. Flower stems were hand-cut and punches were used to create the flowers and leaves. I love the summery mix of Tangerine Tango, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, and Lucky Limeade together! A happy combo indeed!
Play along with us a PPA! You may use any brand of papercrafting supplies to create your card! For more inspiring ideas, see what my fellow PPA Design Team did with the sketch! Get out your supplies and join the fun! I can't wait to see what you create!
