5th Challenge on Cupcake Craft Challenges... Sketch by Lauren





This week we had a sketch to interpret as our weekly challenge on Cupcake CC. Lauren designed the sketch for us.
From the first time I saw it, I could see that it fitted perfectly well for a card for the guys :)






Boyish cards aren't my speciality, but I loved working with this layout. Simple and elegant.
The Magnolia images are painted with watercolours, i used two different sts, to have more choice of colous, and in the end I defined his trousers with some gel pen colour from paintbrush.






The embossed background was entirely hand- embossed. It took me one and a half hours, and beleive me, my hand and shoulders ached after that! lol
paper ribbon and sentiment: HOTP Cardmaker's Earth Palette
Matt behind images: DCWV Text prints matt stack
Brads and fibres from stash.









This week, it would be brilliant if we have more entries.. com'on this won't take you long!! :)
I'd like to see some new ideas, at least when I'll use this sketch again, I'll have more interpretations in my mind ;)


Thanks for looking!

Wishing you love .. and laughter..
forever after!! :)
Rosette xx



P.S. As you can see.. with the help of my lovely community, the camera arrived!! No more boring coloured scans!! Yippee! Now I own my FinePix, and it's great! :)
Thank you from my heart. xx

A truly beautiful card Rosette! And I admire you for your strength to do an embossed background which takes 1,5 hours :)
Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. You touched my heart with it!
