RetroSketches #4 and The Craft’s Meow

Published on March 24, 2012, by

This week at RetroSketches we are using a sketch based on one of my previous cards. If you would like to see which one click HERE. I also wanted to take this opportunity to feature a special stamp set from The Craft’s Meow. It’s called Thanks Bee to Thee and it’s available as a gift with a $50 purchase. I LOVE this set—you can do so much with it! You’ll have to go check out the different approaches the Design Team used when they created their cards! I stamped the “Happy” in the sentiment, “Happy bee-lated Birthday” on the front and then the inside of the card could be stamped with the remaining words or could be switched out for another word all together to fit the occasion. I’ve also decided to submit this card into the Hexagons/Honeycomb Pattern Challenge over at the CREATE blog. It’s been a while since I played along in one of Paige’s challenges.

    Hi Jackie, sorry it’s taken me so long to get around…thank you for the wonderful comments on my blog. It was totally my pleasure to use your card as my muse. I think your work is fantastic. I love this card. I think I may have to CASE this too for my TMS card. I love the hexagons. I’m feeling a serious lack of mojo. Thanks for all the inspiration.
