JAI 119 Just add a sketch

Well hello there,

I have been flat out working on swaps for the upcoming SU! Convention here in Australia - 6 days to go!! you can't half tell that I'm excited can you :) I'm really looking forward to catching up with my fellow Just Add Ink DT members and seeing other old friends. Not to mention the excited buzz, the sneak peeks, the inspiration. I did say I was excited didn't I ;)

Ok enough babble this weeks challenge at Just Add Ink is a sketch challenge. Here it is.

And here is what I made of it. 

I started by flipping the sketch. The thought crossed my mind to use foliage to represent one of the elements of the sketch. So I pulled out Fabulous Florets and stamped and cut layers of foliage and flowers. Since I was going with a blue/pink colour scheme I inked the flowers in Pretty in Pink first then rock and rolling the edges in Marina Mist. I also couldn't resist using some of the new pleated satin ribbon - just gorgeous! All the white space on the top just made me uneasy so I added some subtle patterning and misting. I carried through the foliage and background to the inside and finished off the flowers with some subtle sparkle. Very hard to capture in photos!

Do check out the rest of the DT they have produced some wonderful examples of how this great sketch can be interpreted.

Thanks for visiting :)
Kim
