Sketch Challenge Part 2

The second card I made is for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. The last couple of cards I've made had a darker appearance, so I thought I'd use white as my background this time around. I don't normally go for bright, neon colours but they are all over the web at the moment in design, fashion and papercrafts, so it's seeping into my brain.

I've used the Pantone colour, Radiant Orchid again with its complement, yellow-green.

I've also seen this pointed banner shape around a lot too. I don't have a die to cut this particular design however, all I needed to do was cut out a rectangle first and then trim the bottom off using two sides of a hexagon shaped die. The sewing through the middle of the hearts was done on a machine but as the needle was going through five layers of card, I turned the wheel manually and slowly, rather than use the pedal. I didn't fancy the needle breaking and flying out at me. I tell you, you need a strong wrist to do it.

So put on your dark glasses before gazing upon how bright it turned out.
