Freshly Made Sketches 331

How about a brand new sketch challenge from your friends at Freshly Made Sketches?  And how about a brand new guest designer?  This month we are so pleased to say that Tracey McNeely will be joining us as our guest designer!  Pop on over to her blog to say hello!  And this week our sketch is brought  to you by Cécile.  I predict you are going to love it!

What a fantastic sketch!  How can you not love it?  Those wispy leaves are quintessential Cécile and I tried to do them a little justice with my silver ones.  My silver and gold color scheme are inspired by the anything goes challenge at TGIF.  The inspiration is to come from one of their designers and I chose Shesha Bloodhart's card as my inspiration.  I love how her design is a classic silver and gold one.

Thanks for stopping by.  And I hope that you can join us at Freshly Made Sketches this week with your own take on our sketch!

MOJO 213 and ColorQ 109

Well, I have been struggling with the MOJO sketch since Monday.

I just couldn't settle on a design that I liked.  I thought the interesting color combo at ColourQ would help.

Even combining these two fabulous challenges, I still struggled.  I finally ended up with this.

I think I had the most trouble with that small vertical layer behind the flower in the graphic.  I just couldn't decide what to do there and I tried a few variations before I used a bit of striped grosgrain ribbon gathered in the center.  The polka-dotted designer paper is from Jolly Holiday, the flower is Verve, and the sentiment is from Tagtastic and Vintage Labels.  I topped the flower with a pumpkin pie corduroy button.

I'm not entirely sure that I like the end result and if I have time I might try something else with this interesting color combo.

Thanks for stopping by!
