…thou hast brought me many flowers…



Wednesday means only one thing, a new sketch over at the Outlawz and my card today features the lovely Iris image from this month’s fabby sponsor, Oak Pond Creations.

 
And here’s this week’s sketch.


I’ve fallen out of the habit of playing along at Through the Purple Haze so before I sat down to make my card I headed over there to check out their current challenge.  It is to use an inspirational image, quite a different image it is too!  Between the feathers and the colours I kept thinking shabby chic, a style that really suited this sketch too.  I picked up the purples, pinks and blues from the inspiration image in my papers and embellies and the slight green tinges in my scrap of ribbon.

The sketch was a great one for layering up my papers and I do love to use various patterned papers on my cards, love the extra weight and thickness they give to the card.  I’ve got three on this one so I’m also entering my card in the current challenge over at Craft Your Passion.

Corrosive Challenges are running a theme of “B” Unique looking for three things starting with the letter ‘b’; I’ve got some lovely blooms (both embellies and the image), some sparkly bling and a beautiful butterfly.  So I’m entering my card in the challenge.

This really is an awesome sketch to let your creativity shine through and I loved playing with it.  So hope you will come join us over at the Outlawz with your take on the sketch.
