It's Sunday, and the weekend is coming to a close. It really has been a beautiful weekend here and I think I can feel my Mojo returning. In fact I made 2 cards for today's sketch and they're very different from each other, but I'm happy with both!
Karen had us working with a centre circle image and that always works for me. I seem to work well with balanced sketches, although I love the ones that are asymmetrical , perhaps because they are more of a challenge. I also find new stuff inspiring, so that's where I started. You can see a slightly larger version of each image when you click on them.
I just picked up some of Kaiser's new designer paper called "Hey Birdie" and it is just adorable! I love all the pink and green...certainly inspirational for me! I decided to keep the focus on the sentiment working with Flourishes "Life Lines". I inked the Maya Road chipboard tree trunk with Chocolate Chip ink, and covered the tree top with flock! It's so cute and fuzzy! I added some pink pearls before the flock (nothing sticks to flock), and finished with a row of Prima Flowers.
I was on a roll, so I figured I should keep going! I pulled out Hero Art's "High Heels" set that I hadn't inked up before and coloured the shoe pink and filled in the polka dots with a black glaze pen. It's layered on a black scalloped circle. The small background is stamped with Hero Art's Polka Dot cling background and the row of ribbon flowers are a clearance item I picked up at Walmart ages ago. I really wanted to work the polka dot theme, so I layered a polka dot transparency from SU over the Pixie Pink card to bring it all together. Fun card for the right person!
You're up next! Create your version of Karen's sketch and link it up to her blog post here! You just may see your card featured on her blog next week! In the meantime, check out the amazing creative genius coming from the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers.
