Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge

This week's challenge on the Our Creative Corner blog is a sketch. I can hardly ever pass up a sketch challenge. OCC is a great challenge blog if you enjoy doing different types of challenges and want to be able to use images from any company or line. In addition to sketches, their challenges also include techniques, themes, colors, materials, etc. I don't do the challenge every week, but have done several and have enjoyed them. They also have a very talented DT.

I am really enjoying the different sketch challenges. For awhile I thought all my cards were starting to look the same, but these are helping me come up with some fun new layouts. I am also trying some different color combos. In the past, I probably would have used just the pink and green for this card, but since there was blue in the striped paper and there is some blue in the green floral background (very hard to see but it's there), I decided to try the blue scallop piece, ribbon and brads. I was very happy with how it turned out.

One thing I want to point out - my sentiment is neatly stamped. Club scrap images are often kind of distressed or grunge-looking. That's just the way the stamp is. Although I can be messy - I wasn't this time. :)
