I had my annual eye exam this afternoon ... which included having my eyes dilated. Unfortunately, it takes hours for my pupils to return to normal, so since I am creating cards while I am visually impaired and wearing sunglasses (nothing keeps a determined crafter down) ... I decided to keep it simple tonight.
It's the 200th Sketch Celebration at Freshly Made Sketches, so I thought I would join the party.
I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to feature some new BasicGrey Soleil papers that arrived in the mail today.
The current them at A Blog Named Hero is Simple as Can Be, so I combined some Alphabet Thickers with stamps from Hero Arts It's Your Day.
Since I liked the contrast of black letters with the patterned paper, I decided to use a MFT Thanks Die Cut from my stash, but since it was wider than my card, I turned the sketch on its side.
Beautiful paper! And I love the bold sentiment! Thank you for helping us celebrate 200 at Freshly Made Sketches!

Wow! Am I ever impressed that you can create with dilated pupils! I had my own eye appointment on Monday and had to go back to work right after and I wasn't half as productive! What a great card! I love the way you've shown off those papers! Thanks for playing along with our 200th challenge at Freshly Made Sketches!
