Addicted to Stamps Challenge

The challenge on Addicted to Stamps this week is to follow a sketch which they have provided -  following a sketch is an excellent way to lay out a card if you are ever stuck for ideas and this one was quite straightforward.  Background paper is from My Minds Eye; I embossed a piece of Core-dinations card with dots for one of the layers; the image is a stamp from Stampin' Up Faith in Nature set; the swirly frame was cut with a Lea'bility die and that's it really - a simple card for a simple layout.  I hope you all have a good weekend - feeling quite autumnal (ie chilly) this morning but the sun is trying to break through.

    Your use of black in this really makes the whole quite spectacular & I love that doodled edging. Brown & black with white is rapidly becoming a favourite of mine.

    Hi Aquarius, the background paper is pretty and really compliments the soft stamping, and the black frame and die cut draw one's eyes to the centre. A lovely interpretation of the sketch. Thank you for joining in at Addicted to Stamps and More. Sue x

    Hi A beautiful card, I love your main image, plus the lines you've added around the card, I must give that a try, it certainly works framing the entire card. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More, for our sketch challenge. Caz
