I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose Blog Hop - Day 2


here is what I came up with using Daisy's sketch! The middle doily circle is what opens to reveal a stamped sentiment. I am really getting into making more interactive type cards. I'm trying to make my cards more 3 dimensional that POP out at you! Kinda like a children's pop-up book. I'm hoping to create all my cards in April with more of a 3-D effect. Stay tuned ....

If you enjoyed the awesome sketches and like what you saw please join us over on our Facebook Group where we create a card-a-day using I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose. Don't worry about having to create a card everyday...it's a GREAT place to view others' creations to use as inspiration and of course meet some new talented crafty friends...hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by for a visit! And PLEASE come back for a visit real soon!!!
