Double challenge fit. This card fits into two challenges. 365 Cards and Caardvarks.
The Caardvarks challenge is to incorporate Fantasy into your creation. This card fits the bill. I see knights in armor and a damsel in distress.
Todays challenge on 365 Cards is based on a sketch. I am discovering that for now, I do way better with a sketch. And I do better when I am TOLD which sketch to use. Otherwise I get overwhelmed with all of the choices. I have wanted to make cards, to get a stash going. The 365 Cards challenge is just the kick I needed. And the direction too.
This sketch kinda made me go "Yikes". It looks very complicated. Or, at least it did to me. So I went to my stash drawer of smaller papers. I actually used a collection to choose my papers. I picked a photo mat pad from Die Cuts with a View. The Once Upon a Time Mat Stack. I figured that whatever papers I picked from this stack would match. And I threw in a strip of ribbon, some bling and a stamped image from Inkadinkado. I used one of the new SEI chalk block. I really like these little blocks. They are really smooth and stamp nicely. (Note: I am not a pro. Take my opinion for just that. My opinion!)
Thanks for looking.

Love those colors! Great take on this sketch!
YAY, you're stamping - welcome to another way to spend those craft dollars! I have a similar stamp, great minds think alike - like we didn't know that already?
I love this and yes, I would have been a bit overwhelmed by the sketch. Isn't it funny that using a sketch makes the process easier though? You'd think we'd want to brainstorm but it helps to have a starting point. I love the composition of this and what a good idea to use the coordinated papers from the pack - okay, maybe not new to some people but I think the idea is new.
Yes, I have had caffeine - why would you think that????
