At first this sketch had me a bit worried. However, as I looked at it more closely the possibilities really started springing to mind. It truly challenged my creative thinking to go outside of the box a bit. And that is one of the things I love most about this group. The challenge sketches force me to stretch my imagination.
For the background, I decided to go with a new technique I just learned on SCS called faux grid. On shiny cardstock I stamped various leaves in the colors I chose and created the tile around them. For the yellow rectangles I used a technique called faux linen created by sanding shiny white cardstock then sponging ink over it. Unfortunately the faux linen doesn't show up in the picture.
Thank you Ms. M for a truly challenging, exciting sketch!
Hugs,
Lisa ;)
Lisa...this is so beautiful! What a great masculine card! You did a great job with the faux techniques you've learned on SCS. That faux grid is awesome! I love how you interpreted the sketch. It really was a tough one for me. Now that I look at your sketch, I'm wondering why I was so stressed out about it - your card flows so smoothly. So glad you can share your talents on the TT team. Hugs, Darla
