Before I go on to share my cards, let me show you the sketch that prompted today's cards. I've never share this before but each time I create, I have to have a sketch or a plan before I start. Be it my own or someone else's sketch. I always keep a sketch book near me and jot down whenever an idea pop up. So I thought it would be fun to share with you the sketch I did yesterday and the cards I created based on it. Feel free to use the sketch if you want to....that's why I am sharing here :) Do let me know if you create a card based on the sketch. I'd be happy :)
All supplies except the kraft card base and buttons are from October Afternoon. I will never get tired of it :) Btw, see my handriwting right there? Yes, terrible I know. I am still learning to like my own handwriting :)
This is the first travel card I've ever made using paper from Studio Calico, paperclips from Glitz Design and letter stickers from Jilibean Soup. The travel tag is from Scarlet Lime. A real simple card....just cut and paste :)
Have a great day my beautiful friends! Hugs to y'all!
I do the same thing! I have a little purple 'ideas' book where I sketch the idea, plus mark out the papers and colors I'll use. It let's me craft all day without being in my craft room. And today's cards are just gorgeous by the way!
ReplyDeleteSo great that you work with sketches! I normally never work with them and just slap on different things as I go...I love both of your cards, so sweet! The bon voyage card has such a wonderful vintage feel to it, those clips are to die for, yum!
ReplyDeleteCindy... your sketch is fabulous and so are your cards. They are wonderlicious:). I have to learn to execute my ideas better... I would love to use this for my Teachers card orders.. I think they are just perfect for it.. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're pretty organized ...sketch and all..:)
ReplyDeleteI only scraps for my cards so I never plan ahead! ;)
I love that bright coloured card...so happy! (Nothing wrong with your handwriting!)
Love the travel card too...those paperclips are divine!

Amazing cards, Cindy!! I especially love the second one, with it's soft colors and travel theme!! Great work on that sketch!! btw, I think your handwriting looks artsy :)
ReplyDeleteSketches help but I seldom draw them down in papers but only have them in mind! LOL!! I love your cards as always... Cheery colors!!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are both fabulous, especially like the second one!
ReplyDeleteLove these Cindy! OA is my fav! I wish I could be as planned as you are. I fly by the seat of my pants when I create. HAHA!
ReplyDeletehehe... I will use sketches if it's provided but I have never drawn my own sketch. It's mostly in my head... and I guess I'm more 'free-style' in that sense :D
ReplyDeleteLove your card... I'm going to attempt making some based on your sketch! :) Will let you know when I post it up! :)
The sketch is a nice idea. I don't ever do that, I just do whatever comes to mind or whatever I feel like and sometimes, while I am working on a card, it takes a whole new direction! I Guess I like the surprise!
