I don't seem to vary my card designs all that much - I can see how this one works though.
Awesome photos you have. I'm like you, I normally scrap three to four pictures per page. I try different layouts but I always seem to go back to the same ones.
great switch up Rinda! Also, wanted to say thanks... my happy stamps arrived last week and I'm looking forward to putting them to good use.
I'm not much of a sketch user at all. But I can certainly see how perfectly this one has worked!
Like Sian, I rarely use sketches but I'm starting to lean that way as I am running out of ideas for weekly cards for my mom and grandma. Your cards inspire me to bust out some of those vintage photos you copied for me!
And by the way, I had a text from my mom yesterday saying she received happy mail from you. It really cheered her up! Thanks so much, Rinda. Your kindness is very appreciated! xo
I'm with you on the white space....I tend to find it difficult....but as you know I love sketches and find some very suitable for interchanging between scrap and card.
I love what you've done here.
Your cards work really well with the vintage images. I too struggle to leave white space - I keep trying, but want to fill it up with something!
Love those vintage photographs and how you used them! I can understand your fear of "white space", it's so tempting to cover everything up.
I do when the sketches are as simple as that one was! Love the cards - though No.2's clever use of a bold PP make it feel like the white space has disappeared - amazing how different the cards look!
great cards! your use of space makes the faces stand out more which is fitting since they are looking at us through time.
what lovely cards and such a great use for vintage photos - what a treat it would be to receive one of these in the post.
i use sketches whenever they catch my eye regardless of if they are for layouts or cards - it can take a bit of lateral thinking but that's what makes it interesting!
I have, and I've done the reverse as well.
Cool, Rinda. Isn't this Counterfeit game inspiring? I have stepped so far out of my Comfort Zone this month. A great challenge. Helping me to grow and experiment.
Love your vintage card! I am a big proponent of sketches for both cards and layouts - they are priceless as far as I am concerned because they help me to mix things up.
