How about a sketch???

Wednesday, October 3, 2012

Hello, all!!  Hope today finds you doing VERY well, my friends!  Wanted to let you know the Creative Paper Trade has put up our second Paper Nudge challenge, and this time around, it's a sketch!  I always have fun with a sketch...so much of the work is already done, and I can just incorporate my own style and favorite goodies.  Here it is...

Andrea makes the prettiest and most interesting blossoms...I was inspired by her work to create this for a focal point...


I've used a little of her vintage fabric in there, along with one of her crocheted flowers and some felt and various PTI dies.  The leaves are paper stitched onto felt...love the interest and dimension that adds.  And the sweet little pin was made by Andrea, also.  Here's the blossom on the finished card...


The paper at the top and bottom are from Andrea's paper sets, 'Rustic Love' and 'Shabby Twirl'.  (Note:  Andrea's shop will be down for about a month...she'll be enjoying some more relaxed creating, blogging and family time for a bit.)  As I shared in my previous post, the colors I've used are from our current Color My Week challenge...  


On Friday, our Tip Top Shape challenge will be introduced, so you'll have three different inspiration pieces to work with for this second round of dual-week challenges.  Here's the pretty prize pack up for grabs...


...the ribbon, stamps and embellishments are all included!  You can enter up to 3 different creations for the random draw.  And Andrea has offered another sweet free digital image you can use to create if you'd like...


(...I'd love to see someone get creative with this one!)

There's more inspiration to be found at the CPT blog...don't miss it!
I do hope you'll join us!
