I thought we ought to spice up this month's sketch challenge by also adding a color challenge. So first here is the sketch challenge followed in the next post of the color portion. I do wish we could add more than 3 photos per post.
I wanted to play with repeating shapes such as these rounded diamonds. Any shape you might have is good for this. Nested die shapes could be used for a layering effect. The center of each shape could either have stamped images or just patterned paper. Doodads like enamel dots, sequins and buttons make a nice embellishment for this card. Sentiments can be stamped or die cut.
And then there's the color portion. I picked 3 color swatches that appealed to me. One being more of a red, white and blue combo in case you're planning some July 4th cards. For my first card I chose the RW&B combo. I love those two blues and the not so red, red. I plan on trying out the other two color swatches as well.
Have fun with this.
PS...that's supposed to be sentiment not stentiment.
I was a little sleepy finishing this last night.
