Sketch Something....


The new challenge is posted over at Stamp Something. This week it's to sketch something. Our guest designer for the week is Katharina Frei, I'm sure most of you know who she is since she's amazing, but if not check out her blog to see all her sketches, tutorials and unbelieveable work. I think that's the greatest thing about blogging, Katharina lives in Switzerland and we never would have "met" without our blogs!
Anyway the sketch was great, very challenging for me since it contained circles and I'm a rectangle girl:) So I decided to do a scrapbook page to show people who visited the stamp something that that would be great for this challenge too!
This is an 8x8 page. I used my coluzzle for the circles and a carousel note for the scalloped circle.
The rectangle piece of textured blush blossom is fot the title, and the circular blush blossom is for the photo. The guava scalloped circle is for journaling. The river rock and BB circles are on dimensionals. And I did some faux stitching with my white gel pen.
I thought it wwould be a great page for a tropical vacation or wedding. If you have the scallop circle nestabilities you could make everything smaller and turn it into a card. You could add the flower to the circle center like Cindy's card(see design team samples.) Hope you play along, what a fun sketch!!

Thanks for stoppin' by!
