CAS Colours & Sketches #256 - Sketch Challenge

Beverly has a sketch for this week's CAS Colours and Sketch Challenge.  I thought I would get a jump on making Valentine cards for my grandchildren with this sketch - after all, Valentine's Day is only a couple of weeks away!

It took several iterations before I settled on this final card.  My first attempt started with a circle (since that was part of the sketch), but I ended up feeling an oval better-framed the stitched heart trail from Sugar Pea Design's Special Delivery stamp set.  Not many supplies for this card - an embossing folder, a scrap of pink patterned paper, and heat embossing for the sentiment and the pink trail.  The sentiment and paper airplane are popped off the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Check out the DT's takes on the sketch here and then come and play with us!  Hope to see you in the gallery!
