We're hosting our first Sketch Challenge (PPA151) of the New Year at Pals Paper Arts today! I hope you'll use the versatile sketch I designed and join us for the challenge!
Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I used the sketch to create a Valentine card with a fun mix of texture and patterns! I love the stamped sentiment from the Delightful Dozen stamp set! It worked perfectly for this card! I made the heart embellishments using the Hearts Collection Framelits and a few dimensionals! I really like how it turned out and I hope you do too!
See what the rest of our Resident Artists at PPA did with the sketch! I know you'll love their work! Come join us for the challenge! You may use any brand of papercrafting supplies or materials to create your card (it's not limited to Stampin' Up! products only)! I can't wait to see what you create!
