Off Season



The month of June marches on and my choice of stamps sets to show you is dwindling. Will I use snowflakes OR Christmas??? These are the questions I'm starting to deal with. It looks like I won't have a choice BUT here's one happy option.

This card is made with a set called Harvest Happiness. You'll find it under Autumn on my website ... but I discovered that all of the different leaves make beautiful petals. Even though it's the off season for stamps about harvest time it doesn't matter when you give them a different look.

Speaking of different. This is my first time playing with a sketch at Retro Sketches. I followed the sketch with as much attention to the details in the sketch as possible, even though the sketch is very loosely represented. I love that!!

Here's the sketch. Pop over to their site (click on Retro Sketches above) and see what other people have made from the same drawing.
