Sketch Challenge

 Morning, I saw a sketch on Alysons blog for the latest Atlantic Hearts challenge which I really liked-while in bed knitting I thought ooh I have some snippets of Bee paper so made this card. Paper from Crafters Companion, snippets of Bee paper from Creative World of Crafts, die-cuts from Spellbinders, Memory Box and Hero Arts, sentiment from Penny Black and ribbon bow from stash. I coloured the poppies to match some flowering in the garden at the moment.



Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

A lovely use of your snippets Carol. They've made a fab card with the yellow flower. You sound like me, I'm often thinking of how to make a card while doing something else :)

Chris said...

That's a pretty great sketch. It's interesting how it appears at first glance to be separate pieced panels, and I do love a paneled design. Your bee paper and bees are so pretty and perfect companions to those lovely yellow flowers!

Love the way you chose the complimentary papers to go with the sketch - they add some great leyers to your sweet bee card. Thanks for playing along with the "Layers" challenge on the Dragonfly Dreams blog.

Uschi said...

A fabulous card! Your paper snippets really helped create such a beautiful design. And that sketch is simply perfect for it. Great bee-themed papers and a wonderful die-cut flower! It is such a delight to see those lovely bees fluttering around the flowers. And that oval die-cut is excellent for really making the individual elements stand out.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful card with us as part of the current Everybody-Art-Challenge. I wish you a wonderful weekend!
Hugs, Uschi
