#TGIGC490 — Sketch Challenge | Swimming In Stamps

Hi Friends! I’m a day late, but here’s my TGIF Challenge for this week. We have a sketch challenge that’s so cute!!! I love the background idea!

I just got home from an AMAZING two week vacation in France and London with my daughter. That’s why I’m a tad late in finishing my card. I got home late Sunday night and have been busy all week trying to catch up at work. But, it was SO worth it! We had the time of our lives; it was one of the best vacations I’ve ever had and even more special because I shared it with my daughter.

The strips in the background reminded me of one of the dies in the Friends For Life bundle, so that’s what I used for this card. It was actually super simple to make. I picked one of the watercolor prints from the Full of Life Designer Series Paper and simply cut the strip dies from the DSP. No watercoloring involved.

I also cut the solid heart from Full of Life DSP. Then I cut the small hearts and outline heart from white Glimmer Paper.

For the “friend”, I adhered a Foam Adhesive Sheet to Basic Black Cardstock before die-cutting the word. That made it super easy to adhere.

The Black & White Gingham Ribbon was perfect to tie in the bold sentiment. Then, the final touch was a few Iridescent Foil Gems.

Be sure to check out all the designers’ projects this week using this great sketch. You can join our challenge at the TGIF Challenges Blog by using the Linky Tool at the bottom of the post.
