Papertake Weekly Challenge

I have been looking at the sketches for a while, but have never been brave enough to post one so today I thought I would have a go. The 1st card I made is at the bottom of this post and the one for the challenge is the 1st one - if you see what I mean!!


This is my challenge card:

I have used Tilda (ther's a surprise!!) and matted her onto lilac cardstock. I put tiny Papermania lilac flower gems in each corner. I used Papermania papers for the backing paper and the lilac and a complementing purple for the layered rectangles.


The sentiment is a Fun stamp and the ribbons are sticky ones.



This is the best of the layouts and the one I am happiest with - I do need to practise this sketch more - but I do like the visual effect.

I had a go using a Penny Black stamp (The three Meows) and a colour scheme I rarely use - red and orange.

The backing paper is from Papermania's earth tones set and the rest is cardstock in orange and red.

I have used orange/yellow ric rac ribbon and a red sticky ribbon.

The sentiment is a Penny Black one.

I am quite pleased with the colour scheme but think I need to practise the layout a bit more - it doesn't quite work.



This was my 1st attempt - I didn't measure my card carefully so I have a gap between the ribbons and the rectangles. I like the colour effect and the stamp - smudged the bottom though!
I added the dragonfly gems as it looked a bite bare - still not doing much for me!!

Let me know what you think!
