Two Challenges

This week I decided to try another SOUS sketch. Here is the sketch this week. When I saw this sketch, I immediately thought it looked like a snow hill and tried to make the layout accordingly. I'm not sure crumpling the paper made it more snow-like but at least it added some dimension. I also didn't want my layout to look like Leah's (SOUS design team) because hers is also a snow layout.




This layout also qualifies for the Practical Scrappers challenges which was to use something from your stash that is over a year old. The vellum I used for this layout is at least a few years old. I bought it and then wasn't sure what to do with it.

The font I used is called Frosty (I had to use it). I snuck into a friend's SCAL.

LRW # 21

LRW's challenge this week is to use this picture
to inspire a card.
This bedroom makes me think serene and fresh .
This is the card I made, using watermark to reflect the iron bed then a patterned blue paper to add texture like the throw at the end of the bed , the layers of papers to imitate the layers of bedding , flowers to give the impression of the floral pillows and the leaves to mirror the leaves on the bedside table.

SCS Sketch#273 cards

Just a quick post as I'm exhausted from doing my inventory at work.
