Got Sketch? Blog

Hi there,

I was excited to get to play along with the sketch last week at the Got Sketch? blog! Here's the card I created using their sketch. Check out this post to see lots of other fun cards using this sketch as well!

For my card, I stamped some Polka Dot Basics II in summer sunrise ink on white card stock and paired it with some ripe avocado In Bloom patterned paper. The butterfly was cut with my SU! Bigz Beautiful Butterflies die and layered with a dark chocolate button and the sentiment is from my Mod Squad stamp set.

Hope you're all having a great day today! I'll chat w/you again soon...

Paper: aqua mist, ripe avocado, dark chocolate, stamper's select white, In Bloom
Stamps: Polka Dot Basics II, Mod Squad
Ink: summer sunrise
Other: Bigz Beautiful Butterflies die, dark chocolate button, rustic cream button twine, corner rounder punch, Fiskars apron lace punch

Hi there! I'm Dawn McVey and I'd like to welcome you to my little corner of the internet. My hope is that you'll find this place warm and welcoming! I'm an artist with a heart for God. I worked as a graphic designer for ten years, before starting my own art business. I love color and all things vintage! My handsome husband, Bart, is also my best friend. I was extremely sick for more than 8 years and eventually had a rare small intestine transplant on October 28, 2017! During those years of being so sick, I got lots of practice learning how to choose joy in the midst of extreme suffering! ;) I'm so, so grateful for all that the Lord has done in our lives to bless us and to bring me to a place of health! He used that long season of illness to draw us closer to Him and we've also seen Him use our transplant story in amazing ways, to pour faith, hope and joy into the lives of others. Those years of struggle were so hard, but I wouldn't trade them because I can see how He was with us every step of the way and how He was using every bit of it for our good and His glory. My hope now, is that I can encourage you to choose joy in the midst of your own struggles. While you're here, I hope you laugh or smile or find some inspiration and encouragement. I hope you enjoy your time with me and ultimately, I hope you see some of HIM while you're here. He is everything. Much love, friends…
