Well this week the idea was to take an item of inspiration, and create something!
Well I have wanted to get inspired by this Address book I have had for years (obviously its pretty worn out), and thought NOW was as good a time as any! I pretty much much cased the entire thing!
here is a close view of the card itself
I always loved the colors, and the layout. It was fun to finally use it! Love layering, and this was a great layered look! I used Garden Whimsy for this card.
colors-PT white, pomegranate, celery, pink, banana, guava
The brads were colored with Sharpies, cause I had NO pomegranate brads. Had to add something extra! It didnt seem very “balanced” other wise. For an adress book it was OK, a card made by me-not so much!
Wanted to keep the ribbon subtle-so used a sheer polkadot by May Arts.
I hope you like it, and it inspires YOU to get inspired by ANYTHING this weekend. Be sure to check my blogroll-for the other Sketch Challenge participants-you can play along just link your creation in one of our comment sections!
Come back tomorrow-cause that is my Saturday Sketch!
