Hi everyone. Thanks for dropping by and checking out my cards this week. This sketch challenge by by Amy at Freshly Made Sketches caught my eye, and I thought I'd give it a go. There are so many things you could actually do with this challenge. Remember the shapes like the oval in a sketch challenge can be swapped out (any shape) so if ovals aren't your thing you have the option to change the image to something else.
I really like the designer papers in the Winter Meadow pack. The colours are so beautiful. Originally I was going to use Lost Lagoon cardstock for my card base and accessories, however I'm still working on cleaning up my stash so wound up using a card base I had on hand that is in a retired color called Tranquil Tide. It matched in with the paper pretty well.
I've had a lot of fun with the Sophisticated Sled dies and stamp set and have made several cards with the sled as the focal point. For my version of the challenge, the sled represents the oval in the sketch.
