Awesome sketches!!




I've never been big on sketches, kind of do my own thing, but I think it's always good to try new things!! The "You're a Star" card is (obviously) based on this sketch. Every week, Jen del Muro posts a SFYTT (Sketch For You To Try) and gives you awesome examples, AND there are prizes! I think I might have found a new love for sketches......'cause who doesn't love prizes??

And as for prizes....if you leave a comment on this post.....you will have a chance to win some of your own Red, White and Blue blog candy! Thought it would be fun to "start out with a bang" here on my new blog! Hope you enjoy the sketch, the "eye candy", and who knows....maybe some "blog candy"!!

  2. This is such a beautiful card. I really like the checkered background paper. The "you're a star" stamp adds a nice effect, as well. Great work!
