Freshly Made Sketches 560

Here's this week's installment from Freshly Made Sketches. 

I'm trying to build back my stash of need-right-away cards. So I started with the theme in my mind of having a square wedding card. I really like the idea of splitting a large image apart that I've seen all over. I really like a bit bigger canvas for these larger images. More white space. Since I'm trying to get back to finding my style/groove again, I reflected on what hooked me to this craft more than 20 years ago. Heat embossing. Here you go! 

Stamps are from Concord & 9th, Technique Tuesday (sentiment).

Gold and white card stock. 

And here's the original sketch. 

On a more reflective note...

I've boxed up the majority of my stamp sets, a full set of ink pads, inks, gobs of random card stock and a mountain of other supplies. Wow. I can't tell you how good that feels. I don't know what to do with it all but it is freeing to simplify a bit. After 20 years some things just aren't feeling modern enough and I want to get some new things. I've completed my mini ink collection and matching card stock from Gina K Designs and that has really helped me get more focused. I like the matchy-matchy. My taste has surely changed and I'm continuing to find my place in all this again. If you got this far, thanks for looking. Have a great weekend!
