OK - So I didn't think I'd be back tonight...a girl's allowed to change her mind, right? I spent a fun couple of hours chatting during Paperworks Co.'s new release party and then went back a few days on the blog to see what I might have missed. To my surprise, Peggy had posted her Sunday Sketch Challenge #23 on Sunday and here's what she had to say: "This week’s sketch was inspired by a sunrise I woke up to one. Normally, I would try to sleep in on the weekends, but one saturday, I woke up to this BRIGHT hue of PINK, so I couldnt resist doing it as a sketch."
As soon as I saw the sketch I KNEW what I *had* to do. I have been looking at Arielle's Colour Q challenge since Tuesday and have been STUMPED as to what to do with her colors...bright and tricky:
Seeing Peggy's sketch and Arielle's colors made it all very clear for me... Even though Peggy said her sunrise was pink, I made mine yellow and orange against the grass and sky:
This was so much fun to make! I started by inking my Medallion stamp first with Crushed Curry and then with Tangerine Tango lightly on top and stamping it on Whisper White. My next task was to figure out HOW I was going to cut out that circle since none of my Nesties are big enough (do they even make them that big???). I dug out my Coluzzle which was *just* big enough to cut the medallion part but not big enough to do a layer of Tangerine underneath. Hmmmm... what to do... and the search began! I finally found a little flowerpot that was just the right size adn used my Coluzzle knife to cut around it. It wasn't totally even so I thought maybe if I distressed the edges no one would notice!! It's still not perfect but I digress! LOL
The rest came together very quickly - some paper piercing, some pearls, a hodgepodge hardware frame and an orange rhinestone for sparkle and this one is in the books. :)
Thanks for stopping by tonight. If you have a chance, stop by Paperworks Co. and check out their new release, "The Tinheart Family" collection. I'll see you all tomorrow!
