A few weeks ago the lovely Jeanna Bohanon invited me to join the amazingly talented design team at TGIF Challenges, of course I said YES! (Which also meant I was in desperate need of an updated photo, ugh, I much rather be behind the camera!) So, today I get to share with you my first project as a DT member. This week we have an awesome sketch challenge.
Now, for those that have been following my creative journey for any length of time may have noticed that I seldom follow sketches exactly, but again the whole point of them is they may a great jumping off point. I will admit I did start off designing a horizontal card, but in the end I rotated the sketch to make it work for me.
The Prized Peony stamp set is simply stunning and the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper is full of beautiful designs that it really makes it easy to create a card without a lot of effort. The main layer is a piece of DSP that is Basic grey and White, perfect for using Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers to colour a small area and created spotlighted image.
I love stamping on DSP and here I stamped on the die cut label from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies using Smokey Slate Ink to add some more interest. The sentiment was also stamped on a die cut from the same set that was cut from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, but I knew this card wouldn't be complete without a little texture, so I added a Linen Thread double bow and a few shimmery dots from the Elegant Faceted Gems.
I hope you can join us in this week's challenge and make sure to check out the challenge blog for some more awesome inspiration!
