SD28 Sketch Challenge
Posted under Sunflowers and Dragonflies Creative Designs by Beth
It’s Saturday and we have a fun new challenge for you. We thought it was time to start producing sketch challenges to help jump start your mojo. I don’t know about you, but I love to play with sketches, whether it is scrapbook or rubberstamping related.
You may wonder how I think I can pass off this card as one that followed the sketch. Ahh, but I did. See that yellow tab in the sketch? Compare that to the shape of the Spellbinders Nestabilities that I used. This is just one example of how a sketch can be interpreted.
Did you notice my interesting paper pieced background? It is the Herringbone Technique from a recent issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. You will find lots of paper piecing techniques as well as product related techniques. Each issue has a bonus technique which is usually a unique card fold or project. You will find some of my tutorials and cards in the paper edition as well as on the subscriber only pages of the website.
Because Valentine’s Day is nearly here, I thought it was fitting that I use our Mouse Hug stamp.
Now onto the sketch and design team examples….
Here’s what the design team came up with for you
Jennifer used Cheshire Cat
Kim used the Queen of Hearts
Karen used Candied Orange Blossom
Jerusha used Amber and Amber Flourish
Rose used Hoo Hoo There
This week’s prize
Your choice of Prima Flowers and BasicGrey paper pad from our store

Hugs,Karen
