Basic Grey and Freshly Made Sketches
Had to play with a little paper tonight so I went to see what the sketch was on Freshly Made Sketches - it looked like something I could handle after a long day at work. Good clean lines. Here is the sketch.
I used paper from a Basic Grey 6 x 6 pad. A strong addiction I have. The peachy/pink paper seemed just a little blah when I got the card laid out - so I got out my Hero Arts friend definition background stamped and inked it up with grey and then kinda stamped it - I did not want a clean stamp - I just wanted some extra depth to the paper. The flower stamp is from Hampton Art. I stamped the center again on the peach paper, fussy cut it and pop dotted it for a little dimension. I ended up having to mat the floral image. I brought the black into my accent strip and embellishments.
Tomorrow is Friday - but alas I am forcing myself to work on Saturday. I need to get some more stuff accomplished.
I love the effect of the subtle stamping on the peach paper. And the two-tone flower is a very pretty focal point. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteI love how you pieced the flower and made the background more interesting without making it too busy.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty this is! I love the colors and all your little details. Glad you joined us this week at FMS!
ReplyDeleteI think the stamping on the background was a great addition. It adds some really nice interest and ties in the black. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
