This week is really rolling by. One of things I really love about being on a design team, is the challenges. Challenges as in working with creative sketches, limiting what you use, or color combinations. And, sometimes I even challenge myself. This week, over @ Sketch Frenzy Friday, the talented Patrice has given us a great sketch. But, I also wanted to see what I could do with minimal supplies. FYI, not using half the stuff in my craft room, is 'minimal supplies'. {smile}
Here is Patrice sketch:
At first, I was considering using a butterfly instead of a flower. You know, something different and interesting. But, I just couldn't get it to work. Oh well. As for the matted center square, I was having a problem getting that to work, too. I was having a bit of a struggle.
So, I started with the paper. I wanted to use a paper I haven't really used, in that, I still have all the paper. I love the black/cream color combination, so I selected Timeless Portrait. The graphics in this collection of DSP, is really pretty. So, I selected a large and a small print. Then, I looked through my stamps to see if I have something that 'matches' the graphics in the Timeless Portrait DSP. I grabbed the Frame It stamp set, and loved how this frame looked with the paper. Now, I needed a sentiment. I love the font in the You're Cherished stamp set. But, I still had the problem with the object at the top right corner. And what would I put inside the frame?
Well, I made my own flower sprig. Which I just love how it looks. Looking through my stamp sets, I came across Nature Walk, and saw the butterfly image. I have a weakness for butterflies and birds, and they do make me happy. So, I stamped the butterfly inside the frame. I'm pretty happy with how this card turned out. Take a look, and let me know what you think.
Continue on with this blog hop, and see what Tammy F. has created, using the same sketch. Take care.
