It's a Beautiful Day (TSOT #652) (August 6 - August 18)

 

Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #652 is now open through Sunday, August 18, 2024. The sketch is below. I tipped the sketch on its side to design my card. 

   Original Sketch                                                  Tilted Sketch

I have an elderly aunt (age 98) with whom I stay in touch by sending her a card every few weeks with a few words of news about the family so she will enjoy the floral paper and the pink cardstock. 

The floral panel was adhered to a panel of gray cardstock. Using thin foam tape, three strips of dotted paper were added to the floral panel. The focal image was created by using a cut-apart that coordinates with the paper collection and matting it with pink cardstock. This was added to the three strips using more foam tape. A few enamel dots were added. The finished card was added to a pink card base. The card base was lined with a white panel and decorated with patterned paper.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you enjoy our semi-monthly challenge at TSOT #652.

  2. Nice touch to flip the sketch and accommodate the bicycle image. So fresh and feminine in the florals and pinks. I'm sure your Aunt will enjoy receiving this from you!
