This week at Freshly Made Sketches, Rita has given us a sketch that seems straight-forward but I found to be a little tricky. I'm sure she didn't mean it that way (right, Rita?), but tricky is what I saw.
To complement the sketch I was inspired by the current Muse challenge which features a card designed by Ardyth Percy-Robb and features a lot of circles. I wanted to incorporate circles onto my card where the scallops on the sketch were and got it in my head that interlocking circles would look pretty cool. In the end I think they look like the Olympic rings gone bad, but what do I know? Here's Ardyth's very cool card:

I love your monochromatic take on the Muse card - you have the same fun, bouncy movement with those looped circles! I'm so glad you played along!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this card! Those red circles are so fun! Soooo super cool! I'm pretty sure Rita meant to trick us!!!! Love the washi tape!!!! You are the queen of washi tape!
ReplyDeleteUber cool, Jen. I can't even imagine what you would create if you didn't find a sketch tricky, considering this one rocks both challenges!!
ReplyDeleteI'm always impressed when someone combines two or more challenges! I can rarely ever do that! Fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteLove all of those circles, Jen!
ReplyDeleteAlways love your gorgeous, simple style - I'd never have thought you found this tricky. Great use of the washi!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Jen! I love how you cleverly used the circles for one of the elements of the sketch. Great colors and a beautifully clean card.
ReplyDeleteI think this is great Jen! It actually reminds of a sketch I have in mind that is based off of some presentations I saw when I was at the IBM conference last October. Your card looks fabulous!
