Card: Sketch Challenge

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post.  I needed a little creative time this weekend and decided to participate in this week's challenge over at the Paper Players.  I love playing along with challenges because they give me the chance to be creative while still getting at least a starting point whether it be a sketch, color scheme, etc.  

And here is today's project...

So I'm sure everyone knows by now my love of vellum! This particular sheet of Designer Series Paper has some very bold colors in my opinion, so that layer of vellum really just adds to the softness of the card.  The small strip of Fresh Fig is stamped with one of the border stamps from the Beautiful Promenade stamp and I think it gives that small strip just a little bit more character.  You can see below that I added that same strip across the inside, bottom.  I have been trying to be more particular on the stamp sets that I have been purchasing now that I am getting quite the little collection.  My next goal is to really start building a collection that not only gives great front sentiments, but also some beautiful sayings for the inside of a card.

Ok so I realized after it was too late that I actually put the sentiment in the wrong place (see sketch below) :( But I'm going to go with it and call it creative interpretation! Blame mommy brain on that one because I was pretty sure I nailed it this week...but not so much! Haha!
