Hey You!

Here's my card for the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. I used the mini slimline layout to create a fun miss you or thinking of you design with stamps and dies from My Favorite Things. After cutting the pale blue panel and adhering it to the light green card base, I trimmed down darker blue and green scraps from my scrap pile and placed them at opposite ends of the panel. The intersection between the two strips is hidden by the earth image from MFT's Miss Your Hugs stamp set. For nice ink coverage, I used pigment inks and my MISTI to stamp the earth before cutting it out with the matching die. The image was adhered to the cardfront using foam tape for dimension. I added a teeny, tiny heart speech bubble on the globe to sort of indicate my location. The "hey, you!" sentiment from the More Essential Sentiments set was stamped to the right of the globe in blue ink to complete the design.
