sketchfest wednesday…

It is Wednesday and day FOUR of the Caardvarks Sketchfest challenge!  I am so excited I have actually completed four cards!!!  This has been super fun and really pushing my creativity.

Do you ever look at a card and wonder… where the heck did this come from?  I get that feeling with this card.  Mainly because it is a bit different from my usual clean lines and simple design.  My mom had this sentiment she wanted for her sister’s birthday card.  It says, “Sisters… they make all the difference in how well one travels through life’s journey.”  I think my different styled card came from the actual sentiment which made me think of vintage travel.  Kinda fun to step outside my usual box to see where my imagination can take me.  I actually made the sentiment on my computer (first time I have really combined digital with my cards).  I can’t wait to play with this idea a little more.

Can’t wait to see what day five has in store… until tomorrow!
