Today I would like to share with you a new sketch challenge that I have chosen to participate in. I've found that I make my best creations and have the most fun creating when I'm doing a challenge. So, I've been looking around at some of the various blogs and I have my eye on a few that I think I just may try. Here is one of them.....
Now, this may look like a pretty simple layout, however I actually had a bit of trouble getting started. I ended up designing my card around the Filigree Brads on either side. I then choose the Denim Jean Ribbon as I've been wanting to use this on a card lately. After staring at the brads and ribbon for a while a little bit of country came into my mind so I went with the Countryside stamp sent. Finished with the "thank you" from the Delightful Dozen stamp set and there you have it. My first creation for the Freshly Made Sketches! What do you think?
Stamps: Countryside, Delightful Dozen
Ink: Timber Staz On, More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wasabi, Garden Green
Accessories: Aqua Painter, Tulip Embossing Folder Filigree Brads, Denim Jean Ribbon, Dimensionals
What a refreshing card - it definitely feels like a country card with the scene you've chosen and the addition of the denim ribbon.
ReplyDeleteOh how delightful ... what a super CAS design, I love the how the white space draws the eye into the focal image ... and of course the embossed tulips is just perfect to frame this little beauty!
