Hi everybody. We have another fun sketch for you this week. I love the idea that it's not your standard card size. This card is a little busy due to the extensive die-cutting and ink distressing, and might go outside of the clean and simple realm a bit, but I still have plenty of open space, even though it is not white. I had just re-inked my Versamark and I think that the hearts stamped on the Kraft would have really softened up the card if I didn't re-ink -- but, live and learn. Thank you for visiting our sketch this week and our examples to inspire you! I'm also showing you the inside of the card as it is very clean and you will be able to see how I tied together the outside with the inside. See you next week.

I was in a yellow/sunshine/butterfly sort of mood when I made the card. Which, oddly enough, seems appropriate, given that I will be docking at Tortola in the British Virgin Islands today!
