Sending a Happy Hello (TSOT #662)

 




Greetings! I hope you're having a great day. Here's my interpretation of today's Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge. This Challenge #662 is biweekly, ending on Sunday, February 2, 2025.

Following is the required sketch for TSOT #662:


Using patterned paper from my stash, I followed the sketch and created a card conveying a "Happy Hello" to the recipient. I have used this 6 x 6 pad for other cards and am always drawn to it. The circles are die-cut from cardstock or paper and the butterflies were created with a punch. The inside of the card was decorated with small scrap circles, leaving sufficient space for a personal message. The striped mat is a gray on gray color but photographed as blue-ish.

I also used this simple sketch for another challenge but could not include it for this challenge because I would have had to backlink.

Be sure to visit the TSOT Blog for the Design Team's inspiring cards. Thank you for stopping by to view my card - I appreciate your comments.

Melanie
