I tried to make good on Jen‘s Sketch for You to Try last night. I promise. You can see the sketch here, and when you peek – just know that the bottom rectangle gave me FITS! That layer screamed ‘sentiment!’ to me, and I had that covered with my focal image. Since this is for a guy, I didn’t want to gussy it up too much, know what I mean? After much gnarling and gnashing of teeth, ‘it is what it is’.
I used ‘Leave a Trail‘ by Unity for my main image. I did have to omit the credit (Ralph Waldo Emerson – sorry Ralph!) and the word ‘and’ from my project so that it would fit into my oval layer. An embossing folder for texture on the Willow Green Dark Prism for a leafy background, a little stitching, this gorgeous Beaux Regards trim that I got from sweet Cindy at StarLitStudio and some Real Red Martha Stewart butterflies are the basics. I finished it off with some brads to make that rectangle layer 😉 and some zigzag stitching. Finished card size: 6×6.
I got to stamp A LOT yesterday, and I cannot wait to show you what I’ve got for tomorrow! Have a great Sunday!
