Tonight, was a fun night. I have not done a sketch challenge in a long time. For those new to sketch challenges, a sketch challenge is where you are given a sketch (or blueprint) of a card you would like to build. In this case the sketch was pretty simple, like most are. Very basic shapes give you just a hint of what you can translate it to. Some people used animals in place of the circles. In my case, I used daisies. Since this is the first one I have done in over 10 years, I thought it might be good to stay as true to the sketch as possible.

At first, I was a little disappointed at myself for not coming up with something that had a little more Brandy-Flair. However, the more I look at it, the more I like it. It kind of grew on me. I think the part I had difficulty with was the glitter. I am not a glitter person! But, now that it is stuck to the card and not all over me, I kind of like that card. I do need to practice using embossing powder again though. It is funny how after so many years, I still have issues with it. It might have gone better had I not had the 10+ year hiatus from using it. Embossing powder brings so much dimension and beauty to a card. A little goes a long way in adding that special touch to a card.
Have a good night and happy stampin’!
