Topic: Sketch Challenge
I found exactly the sketch to use for a diecut I had left over from another project - OWH sketch 218:
WOW! Look at all those measurements! It's really much simpler than that. I use the measurements of the main elements and cut the backing pieces 1/8 inch larger each way. I like the thinner 1/16 borders that result for most cards. That is especially true when the borders are very high contrast, like this red.
I pulled the colors from the vinyl sticker of the girl with her birthday cake. I was glad to have the perfect place to use the diecut word, too.
The multicolored dots and the bright yellow chevrons are calmed down by the black stripe but still looks fresh and fun.
Everything is unified by those thin red borders.
