Hello Friend: Sketch #75 and New Favorites
This week’s Saturday Sketch Challenge brought so much joy to my craft table. CARDZ TV Sketch #75 is a simple layout with endless possibilities, and it gave me the perfect opportunity to play with some of the newest products in my studio. I created two “Hello Friend” cards—each with its own personality—using a mix of Lovely & Beautiful DSP, Lovely Blossoms DSP, and a few of my favorite new embellishments. I hope these designs inspire you to pull out your supplies and craft along with me. If you do, be sure to share your card using #SketchWithRPM so our community can cheer you on.
