One of my favorite ways to spark creativity is to start with a great card sketch. Today’s birthday card and sketch share a very simple way to do a quick card with plenty of WOW! using designer series paper. I have a 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial to share with you tomorrow which includes tips and and an alternate way to use “blocks” of color and pattern with designer series paper.
I love hearing from you! Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.
