Card Sketch Challenge

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’!
