Beach Baby

Hiya! Happy Thursday!
I'm back with another FABULOUS Deconstructed Sketch today!! I just can't get enough of Jen's sketches. Every week I find myself soooo eager to see what her creative mind will come up with next!! Now we're at Sketch 6 for this week--how time flies!
And again, I'm LOVING the opportunity to get to ink up stamps I've been hoarding!

This week has got to be one of my fave sketches so far. I ADORE the twine wrapped panels with the circle in the middle. It leaves so much room to play, as well as a bit of negative space too...which I'm drawn to. I grabbed one of the cutie pie Sugar Plums from C.C. Designs over at All That Scraps (Bathing Beauty). I seem to be trying to beckon Summer lately with all of the fun beachy stamps I've gotten to play with, so I couldn't resist inking up this darling beach baby too and fitting her into that fab circular space in the middle of this sketch. I also really wanted to use some sweet and soft colors for this girlie card, because I don't do that often enough!

The papers I chose for this card are from an old K&Company paper line--which I think was intended for baby girl stuff. The twine is actually embroidery thread, something I always use for my hand stitching. And the Amy R sentiment is also from All That Scraps.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you'll play along with us! Be sure to check out what the Sketch Girls have for you over at the DSC Blog!!
