Time is running out for my weekly submission to a favorite sketch challenge, so I hustled about this afternoon to make it. I included it with two other challenges. For the color challenge, I selected black for the neutral color.
Varying sizes of cardstock panels were adhered to the card base. The inside was lined with Smoky Slate and decorated with a die cut branch. To the top panel, a die cut frame was adhered, along with the tiny corner squares of the frame. The sentiment was die cut from two colors and adhered to give it shadow. The die cut leafy branches were partially adhered to give them movement and the ribbon was added. The flower in the lower right corner was punched
and adhered with some hand cut leaves. A gem was added for decoration.
The three challenges are:
1. Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #181:
2. Color Throwdown #414:
(lime, gray, aqua + neutral)
