Yesterday I mentioned I was playing with an idea for a sketch set. In the past when I did a sketch set I used the same colors but different stamp sets and sketches. I was wondering what it would look like to use the same colors, the same sketch, but different stamp sets. I decided to give it a try.
The Color Throwdown blog posted a challenge to use Barely Banana, Basic Black, and Real Red. I thought it might be fun to use my gingham papers in these colors to create 3 cards. I went looking for a sketch that I could use for all three cards. Amy at Prairie Paper & Ink posted a re-do of an older sketch and since it was an interesting layout I decided to use it (beside I hadn’t done one of her sketches for a while). I also pulled my gingham ribbon I got from Heidi at Pink Hedgehog in the same colors to use on the card.
I then went looking for images to use for the cards. I decided to use Stem Silhouettes, Matchbox Messages with Pocket Silhouettes in the center, and Wagon Full of Fun. The sketch had an element in the upper left corner. I decided to use sentiments and punch them out in different shapes to add to the card.
Now after reading all of this I bet you are curious as to what the cards look like. Well here is the sketch and my creations.
