Happy Friday! Here's this week's sketch, I'm going to ask that you try to keep things square. If it's not working out, that's okay, as long as you're inspired! Here's my take on the sketch! Very basic. My card measure 4.25x4.25 The main image panel is 2.5x2.25. The rest seems pretty straightforward. Supplies: Stamps: Friends 'Til the End, Polka Dot Basics II, Faux Ribbon Ink: Summer Sunrise, Fresh Snow, Chocolate Chip Paper: White, Dark Chocolate, Summer Sunrise, Raspberry Fizz Accessories, etc.: Scalloped border punch (EK Success), button Just a side note, I made a little video about what I'm calling the "Faux Letterpress Technique" over here. I call it faux, since I'm using a die-cut roller machine and not an authentic letterpress. I know people of the letterpress art probably cringe when anyone refers to it as letterpress. As always, feel free to leave a link!
