Friends of Unity February Hop

 Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity February Blog Hop. This month the theme is a sketch challenge. In my mind, this sketch is fitting to showcase a background stamp or larger single image. For a quick card the background could be some pretty paper or even a photograph you are sending. 

Two things that can solve a craft rut is a good sketch or color combo for inspiration. Crystal Minkler has provided us some of the best sketches, but Pinterest is full of them as well. Turn the image left, right, or upside down… any which way to fit the elements inside. Use our sketch for your next creation… we would love to see what you make with it! 


 

Hop along with the other Friends of Unity and see what techniques are their favorite...

  7. Very very pretty! It has the perfect amount of white space to make that yellow pop! I think I particularly like that the leaves are not in the white space. Very very pretty!
