AAA Card Challenge 274: The most challenging sketch ever!

I'm really looking forward to seeing how everyone handles the latest sketch at AAA Cards as OMG this one had me totally stumped as all I can see is a mass of blobs and not very pretty at all IMO.


I've taken quite a few liberties with interpreting the sketch and have used a leaf stencil with some pretty and spring-like colours as in the Southern Hemisphere it is now "Spring" but when I had created my leaf cluster I thought to myself that looks like it would make a lovely Sympathy card. I've also flipped the sketch on it's side.

I'm also going to play along with The Paper Players as they have a CAS and Back to Nature challenge happening.




Supply List:
Stamps: Sentiment Staples (TE), Falling for You stencil and clear stamp combo (TE)
Ink (all TE): Sweet Basil, Mint Julep, Pink Champagne, Confetti Cake
Paper: Neenah Solar White
Other: Inside-Out Stitched rectangle die (LF), Blue Gold Gansi Tambi paint
Challenges: AAA#274, PP707

Well I'm pleasantly surprised how much I like my card and I feel like my blobs AKA leaves look rather pretty in their Spring-colours.

  2. It is indeed a challenging sketch but you've done wonders with it. I love the clean, crisp design of this. The spring colours are great and the little stitched detailing around the card panel add a real touch of elegance. It's great to touch base with another New Zealander in the card challenge world too! Thanks for sharing this with us at The Paper Players.
