It's time for another Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge! This week is a Designer Draft or a sketch challenge.
Confession time: I have to admit that this sketch got the best of me... hangs head in shame...so I simplified the sketch- a lot and here's what I came up with:
I stamped two of the large leaves from Leafy Greens onto a cream card stock panel. These leaves are taking the place of the squares on the sketch. Next I added the sentiment from Chit Chat in brown ink. After I stamped it, I thought about stamping it on a banner- ala the sketch, but I decided to leave it as is.
I felt that the card was a little too simple, so I added the stitched die lines from the Stitched die set and adhered the stamped panel onto a piece of woodgrain patterned paper before attaching it to a cream card base.
Here's a look at this week's inspiration sketch:
