A Little Bit of Good - Freshly Made Sketches #50

The group over at Freshly Made Sketches does a wonderful job coming up with clean and simple designs and this week's sketch by Lesley Croghan is no exception!

EZ Design Ideas:

• I chose richer colors and mixed patterns up for a deeper, but still cheerful combination to reflect the change in seasons
• The cute little flower was punched out three times and layered with a dimensional between each flower with the petals offset just a bit to create depth and interest

• The twine wrapped in the center of the flower coordinates with a simple bow across the bottom of the sentiment layer and gives the layout a bit of 'jazz'

I really like the earthy feel to your card. The minimal layers allow the sentiment to be the main focus and the colours are bright and cheerful! Really a sweet card! Thank you for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
