Challenges are so stimulating and I enjoy them so much...they're good for the gray matter! Sometimes it's a matter of starting with the sketch and working with what I have in my stash to end up with a usable-sendable card. I like today's card, it's different somehow. When I first looked at the sketch at
Tuesday Morning sketches, and different artist's take on the sketch, I kept thinking about the oval shaped flex toys that hook onto each other and are usually the primary colors. The toddlers in the nursery at church make necklaces to wear and to chew on (of course we clean them after nursery time). With that in mind, I decided to use a die cut from the retired SU collection Swirly Scribbles-- Using papers from Natures Poem DSP (SU retired) I die cut the panel and the little circles that remind me of grapevine wreaths. I layered the leaf panel with Soft Suede on a crumb cake card base. When it was all attached it looked a little plain...so I gussied it up some, I hope you enjoy it and thanks for stopping by...this sketch challenge was a challenge for sure!
