BasicGrey Challenge 25 - Sketch
Hi everyone, hope your weekend is off to a good start and you're ready for another BasicGrey challenge which this week is a great sketch by Martine. I hope you can join in this week and as always there's some absolutely fantastic inspiration from my DT friends, they amaze me every week with their stunning creations.
I've used a cute Penny Black bear image and water coloured it with Ranger distress inks, all the edges are sponged with black soot ink as are all the BasicGrey Sultry papers in the background. The white card has been embossed with the Houndstooth Cuttlebug folder and sponged with black soot and tattered rose ink, the vertical piece is also punched with the MS doily lace punch for the scalloped element. I mounted the panel under the image on dimension tape and added some pretty sheer dotted ribbon and bows. There's a little bit of stickles on the roses for a bit of sparkle and I made the photo corners with square nesties one inside the other to make a tiny frame and then cut on the diagonal. TFL. Chris
