so I had some more time to play with paper and glue. What a challenging sketch posted for challenge # 1 on Basic Grey's new challenge blog!Tough, but FUN!!
As always, the ideas for me are started with great paper... and then the ideas flow from there. One thing you can count on with Basic Grey is great paper - and great colours!
The sketch is all pretty and pink and flowery - well, I didn't go that way at all!! LOL
Todays entry is almost entirely made up of papers from BG's Obscure line, including the Design Papers, Die Cuts & Alphabet Stickers.
Obscure is not really a pretty line, but it's definitely way funky - It's now disco'd, which is too bad, cuz it's fab and FUN - especially for teen cards and such... but happy for me - I got a fab deal at Peachy Cheap on it. Yay!!I flipped the sketch and got to work.
There was no way a ribbon was going to fit on this grunge theme, so I opted for a couple of die-cut arrows. I like 'em! Same with the flower - the fun stripey cloud die cut is standing in for that.
I loved the paper so much, I decided to pop some inside the card, too. :) I'm going to save this one for my niece...

Cheerio!
