Today I am playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. When I first looked at the sketch, I was a little puzzled. I wasn't sure I could come up with an idea. I absolutely love what the DT did with this sketch. They are all so creative!
I started looking through the mess on my table and decided to use the new Lawn Fawn Happy Mail mailbox die for my card. I used the die and cut the mailbox from Very Vanilla and the post from Crumb Cake. The little flag is Real Red. I attached a pink heart brad I found in my stash. The flag actually moves up and down!
I used Tim Holtz Distress inks to create the blue for the large circle and the grass. I cut the circle with the SugarPea Designs Zig Zag Stitched Circle die. The grass is cut using the Lawn Fawn Meadow Borders die.
I cut the two envelopes from the Happy Mail die with Valentine paper. You can actually open each letter for a message. The sentiment is from My Creative time and stamped in Memento Black ink.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! I love to hear from you, so please leave a comment!
HUGS!
