Today I am super excited! My entry in Freshly Made Sketches challenge 225 was chosen as a Princess of Clean!!! (not the winner but a special mention) So nice to receive encouragement from an independent source (because you know your friends & family are kind of biased right?!). You can see my card along with the Queen and other Princess's creations by clicking here! The sketch is a great clean and simple layout that has so many possibilities.
I am really enjoying playing along with on-line challenges. I used to spend a lot of time looking at pieces of paper and stamped images trying to work out how to put something together then giving up and CASEing something from my Pinterest collection almost exactly. Starting with a sketch has given me a different approach and way of looking at my supplies. I also usually set myself some sort of secondary challenges as well (use DSP or colours that are not in my usual palette - for me both very challenging, or use a stamp set that hasn't seen ink yet (we all have those don't we??) or an old favourite that's been neglected for a while). I do still occasionally CASE some designs that I love but I like to think I am wasting less time 'pinning' :)
So today's card is for Freshly Made Sketches challenge #226. It's a simple but super versatile layout. I also decided that it would be a good sketch to try using a piece of DSP. Here is the sketch and my take on it:
