Great sketch as always... When I was looking through my digi folder, I ran across this one which is by Paula. While I have used it several times for cards, I was inspired to try using it again in a little different way. The sentiment is planned to be more of a design element for this card, so I placed it on the strip. Originally I was going to layer the white paper directly on the black but I had some of the striped paper laying around. When I did my visual trial it really added some pop so it was added to my card. I also think the the nautical theme as featured in the latest Papercrafts magazine has been simmering in my brain.
I am also linking this card to the Addicted to CAS #17 Water Challenge.
yes- the striped paper really works well! THe image is awesome- and I love your brads-- nice touch! I am having a hard time with this sketch- so thanks for the inspiration! And I find that nautical is such a peaceful, relaxing theme- I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love your nautical card! The striped border paper is a wonderful addition. And I really like the sentiment on its side as the design element, especially with the three red brads. Great job with this week's sketch!

ReplyDeleteI love the sentiment on it's side in this Linda and the three red bards are perfect too. I'm so excited to see you got a chance to use my little boat too. I think this week's sketch is kinda tough but you really did a great job interpreting it.
