Good morning peeps!
Here is my DT card for the first Basic Grey Challenge of 2010 and we have a gorgeous photo for you to use as your inspiration. I really enjoy this type of challenge as you can use colours, patterns, textures or something specific in the picture...... for my card I went for the colours. My teamies have provided some wonderful examples and I really hope you get the chance to check out!
I also wanted to work from a sketch so I had a look around and came up with this wonderful layout over at Mojo Monday..... they always come up with the most amazing sketches and this one was perfect to use. I'm never very good with rectangle cards so I made the sketch work as a square in this case.
My papers are from the Nook and Pantry range and the image is Hanglar. I was itching to add more embellies to my card but didn't want to lose sight of the layout, so I behaved, lol!
I'm off for a shower now and then dashing out for a haircut before we get any more snow...... apparently it's on the way!!!
Have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by ;o)
TTFN and TFL, hugs Tara xxx
