Best Wishes
Sweet Sketch 37



This week our sponsor at Sweet Sketch Wednesday is Digi Stamp Boutique. The prize for the winner is $10 of your choice of digi images. Sally Ann has some fabulous images so check them out here. Also check out her blog. But you must know, our DT has some incredible creations
with her images so check those out at SSW and get some inspiration for your own card. Be sure to play along! You may be the lucky winner this week!

I had a few frustrations with my printer ink on this card. For some reason the ink is flaking off the paper. Has anyone had this problem? I am using the Laserjet. I have only had this problem one other time.
Also you can't tell by the picture, but the jewel on top of the cake is a heart jewel that perfectly fits the heart image.

The stick pin was saved from something I received last year for Valentine's Day. I thought it went with the paper but again it hardly shows in the picture. It stands out better when you see it face to face. So I took a close up shot of the stick pin! Cute...huh!



When I first finished the card it looked like this.



I thought it would look better with some added stitching around the circle. So I tore it apart and tried to do Arlana's sewing technique. Well, it's not as easy as she makes it look! But I do think it is what the card needed. I'll have to do some more practicing! Practice does make perfect!

  1. Yep! The stitching really added punch to the card - love it!! The cake looks so yummy, I love the texture you added to it. And see... some people think it's a bad thing to hoard little trinkets, but you saving that pin and using it on your card was the perfect touch.

  8. Hi Judi, what a pretty card-these are a perfect match and so eye appealing. You know, I like the card without the stitching but you are right, the stitching definitely makes it ZING! Wow, what a difference, huh? I will have to try my hand at stitching. ;P
