I have entered so many challenges in the last six weeks because of my enforced convalescence but now I'm back at work, that will end. But this week, I was saved by the school holidays, so no work, which gave me time to have a look and a play.
Here is this week's sketch challenge.
Sahara Sand and Cherry Cobbler is not a combination I've used before but I'm enjoying using strong colours at the moment and Cherry Cobbler is a divine colour, almost like rich velvet.
The six flowers are popped up on dimensionals, as is the white layer and the tag. The white layer has had the edges distressed with Sahara Sand. The tag and white flowers are edged with a Cherry Cobbler marker to give them extra definition. I made the tag with the scallop tag topper punch but with a piece only 2.5cm wide.
Update: I was really delighted when this card was picked as A Cut Above at Paper Players
