I have a card today for this week's Retro Sketches #16. When I first saw this sketch, I admit to being a little confused and intimidated. But, after a bit of thinking, I came up with something.
What I took away from the sketch was lots of different shapes and textures across the middle of the card. Kasia's example inspired me to go for some color, too. Now, I am a CAS kind of gal, so I decided to use PTI Label Basics to get my shapes, and the Canvas/Linen IP for my texture. I added just a simple sentiment from Modern Basics. All colored inks are PTI: Pure Poppy, Simply Chartreuse, Summer Sunrise, Ocean Tides, Winter Wisteria, Blueberry Sky.
Thanks for Visiting
It is quite a different sketch - I don't know what I would do with it! I love what you came up with, and how you stayed so true to your style :)

ReplyDeleteThis is an ingenious use of these frame stamps, and the colours you used reminds me of the map of the London Underground!
