This weeks challenge over at Heart 2 Heart was to follow the card pattern City Scape from one of CTMH's great How-to books, Wishes. When I looked at the pattern I realized the card was smaller than I had imagined and my first idea was going to need more space. I had also wanted to incorporate Jeanette Lynton's Color Me Monday combo for this week into my creation. Well after playing around for a while, I decided to do both! My first card follows the pattern size 4 3/4" by 3" and does indeed use Jeanette's colors of Chocolate, Sunflower, Twilight and Sorbet. I used the Petite Perks stamp set available to earn during this Idea Book period. I do like how it turned out, I used my blending pen to color the flower and butterfly.
But, wait, there's more....I did a second card as well to satisfy the first idea that I had, the one that needed more room! I converted the card into a 5" by 7" to accommodate my runner girl on her jaunt through the grass and flowers. I am enjoying using the Splendor paper pack and the designer brads that match - so much that you might just see it show up again soon!
I've enjoyed playing with this sketch - now head on over to the H2H Challenges blog to gather inspiration to create your own art!
I love them both! Great cards! Thanks for the inspiration :)
