LOVELY & FREE

Welcome to my blog.  Another day and another lovely card and sketch.  This sketch and card are different for me.  I've designed 24 new sketches for 2026, and they are all so different from other years.  This particular sketch doesn't use an image, only a statement, and the focal point of the card is the design paper.

Sketch # 319

This sketch is totally different from my normal sketches.  There are so many beautiful design papers on the market, and sometimes our images we use cover those design papers up.

A very easy sketch, and I'm so pleased with the finished result.

Don't forget to check out what the rest of the design team has created using one of my sketches, and also, there is a blast from the past retro sketch.
