Diagonal Sketch

Check out this totally cool sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.  I am thrilled with how this card came together.  My card base is a 4.25" x 11" piece of Baja Breeze card stock top folded in half.  For the focal layer I started with a Whisper White panel and then added elements from the new Pinwheels on Parade Simply Scrappin' kit.  In keeping with the sketch I stamped my greeting in the lower right corner.  I used the From the Heart stamp set which I inked up with Midnight Muse, Riding Hood Red, and Baja Breeze markers.  Once I stamped the image I used the fine tip of a Summer Starfruit marker to scribble in the heart.

I really like working with Simply Scrappin' kits as there are lots of pieces to mix and match with Designer Papers and Card Stocks.  I have to tell you a secret...I have used this kit for a really fun project that you can only see on the Create with Connie and Mary New Catalog Edition.  It's not too late to subscribe.  Join us for a FIVE week series that includes exclusive challenges and THIRTY step-by-step full color tutorials.  For $29.95 that's an awesome deal!

  12. I love your card. The first thought how much it looked like boat flags. We just got back from a cruise and will have to use this on a scrapbooking page. Thanks for sharing. Stephanie
