Hi! I’m back again with a card for this month’s super fun HLS sketch!
Here is the August Sketch:
Here’s my card:
First I made a sheet of water-colored bg paper using my stamp press and a variety of SU! red and pink inks. Then, I used PTI’s Heart Cover Plate die to cut out the hearts. I spritzed and splattered the card base with Smooch Spritz and some pink ink. I traced a large circle die to make the string.
I adhered the hearts with Tombow Liquid adhesive and drew on the little bows. The sentiment is from Stamplorations’ Trendy Butterfly stamp set.
I hope that you are inspired to play along! You can also find all of the current HLS challenges here. Stop over to the blog for some inspiration from the rest of the design team, and to link up your entry.

P.S. I made another card inspired by this sketch, but it’s also for this month’s HLS CAS challenge. So you’ll have to wait until the 3rd to see it! Come back here in 2 days to see my card and don’t forget to play along with the CAS and Christmas Challenges for August. August!?
Great card! I am remembering it for next Valentine’s Day!
