So as my challenge addiction continues to worsen...
I found a few new challenge sites over the weekend that I know are not going to help my...ahem...problem! One of them is called Unscripted Sketches. Being that this is challenge #198, I can only ask myself "Where have I been"?! But I'm glad to have stumbled upon it at last!
I looked at the challenge, and initially thought it was a tricky one - but once I saw the design team samples, I noticed that some had rotated it, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Top level is a panel, and a two-lined sentiment could represent the boxes. This was one I could do!
I really liked the colour choices and theme that one of the design team members, Debbie used, so I went with that. I used the Paper Smooches Reflections set, and was inspired by Anna to doodle on some of the inked images with my white gel pen. I added the hearts in the centre of the largest flowers and outlined the little guys. I doodled on the green leaves as well. Check out Anna's sweet card too. The sentiment is from PS Flap Happy - I thought it was perfect for any occasion.
Here's the sketch:
And the card:
Hope you like the card!

Hey Shannon!Thanks for play along and please feel free to flip the sketch any which way your sweet little heart desires! The sketch is just a starting point and we love seeing different variations....so run with whatever feels great!
ReplyDeleteNow about your yummy card - Wow! This color combo absolutely does rock! The faux stitched border, the popped up flowers & the twine add interest & dimension to your card. Then there is the "doodling" - another WOW. You definitely have talent and I'm so glad you chose to share it with us this week at Unscripted Sketches :)
This is charming - perfect card for your 'new' challenge discovery. From the colours, to the flowers to the hearts, to the doodling (I have a white pen - rarely used! Ideas sparked!), to the stitching, to the message: it all adds up to, as Geri noted, a most deliciously YUMMY card! You have a flair for those 'special touches'!
ReplyDeleteUnscripted Challenges now on my 'possibilities' list because, as you know, your 'affliction' is infectious, in the best of ways!! :)
Thank you again for ALL your inspiration! and positive energy!
Another card in the queue for my blog later today; it's a stretch...really extended elongated streeetch.
So cute, Shannon! I like how you made the flowers 3D! It's such a sweet touch! Enjoy your day! :)
ReplyDeleteSo ADORABLE! I love the doodling you did in the flowers. It brings them right off the card. The colors you picked are so perfect. I also like how you flipped the sketch. VERY clever! You have a perfect balance of the leaves, hearts, stems, flowers, etc. I really think this is such a fun card! Thank you so much for the shout out again. I hope you had a wonderful day.
