WSC30: So Kind
January 11th, 2008
Woo-hoo for Friday! Today’s sketch (Has Beate really been at this for 30 weeks already?) is in response to the support I received yesterday for the Divine Design challenge. Y’all were just ’so kind’, so open, so willing. Thank you for all of the comments and emails that I received. You sure know how to make a heart warm and be encouragers.
It was fun to work the pieces of this challenge together. I thought the sketch was going to be easy-peasy, but em…all of the white space was tricky. Finally, I cut and and embossed the ’so kind’ sentiment with my Nestabilities and then laid it back into the negative white space. That seemed to give me the pop that I wanted without ‘extra’ stuff.

This is so *pretty*. . . I love the stick pin with the beads and the pretty ribbon and simple and clean lines. You’re right about the embossing. . . perhaps I should try that? LOL!

Wow! That’s beautiful!
I was dreading the sketch a bit myself. I thought it would be hard. But I like the cards I came up with and I LOVE what you guys did! Because you all rock!
