This week's Our Creative Corner colour challenge as my spring board into this sketch. More yummy fall colours to work with :) I pulled out some October Afternoon DP and the rust/cajun polka dotted Recollections DP I got at Mike's and went to work. Then the hard part began as there wasn't just one off angle panel to deal with but two!First one was easy as the sentiment went on it but then I had to figure out what the heck to do with the second one. I was doing a happy dance at having two DPs on one card (though it doesn't really count as they are both the same pattern just in different colours LOL!) so it was back to card stock for me. I pulled out my crimper to add some texture and interest to the panel and used a prima I got from Stacy (aka Twinshappy - yes, I still have some, Stacy!!) for the circle element of the sketch. The top left corner looked a bit empty so a few half pearls solved the issue.
Phew! I've completed all five sketches and even survived this one LOL! Now, I get to wait and see if I'm one of the lucky winners announced this Friday at the release party.
Thanks for listening to my complaining today and have a fabulous day!

You are a brave woman to tackle these angled panels! LOL You handled them beautifully. I love the mix of fall colors and those bitty dots!
ReplyDeleteAnd look how well you worked with those crooked panels!! This is BEAUTIFUL, Marisa! Good luck :D
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous!! Love the crimping for the second angled panel!! Loving all these fall colors!!
ReplyDeleteLovely fall card Marisa!
ReplyDeletePerfect Marisa, the tilted panels look great!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I had to laugh at your comment about the angles!
ReplyDeleteLove the card, Marisa! The angles look great!
You did it! And it's an awesome card...great idea to crimp the one panel! I'm going to warn you...my blog BG changed again - lol! You're going to think I'm crazy, but the 2 different pumpkin BGs were too busy and it was hard to read the links. I hate to visit a blog and have to strain my eyeballs to read it, so had to come up with a simpler design. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh cute-a-mous!! Love the perfect combo of papers. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteLOL I may have to try this because I have a hard time cocking things to the side too. I will try sometimes and end up straightening it back up most of the time. Your card looks awesome though.. Love the pp's you used and that verse
ReplyDeleteMarisa, your card is great with all those wonderful colors, the pretty dp, and angled panels. Like the crimper usage, too. Super card!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone, I have a hard time putting things crooked too. This turned out so nice!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you conquered those off-angle panels, Marisa!! Your card turned out beautifully. I hope you win some Verve tomorrow--will keep my fingers crossed for you ;)
ReplyDeletegorgeous, Marisa...the tilted panels work and I love the colours :) Sweet bling :) By the sounds of it, there isn't a "party" on the Verve forum...I take it that there's just the release of stamps...good thing in a way, we have last minute dinner plans tomorrow night :) I'm off to make my mojo card or at least start it :)
ReplyDeleteWow - really fun! You did a fantastic job with all those angles! Really great and not overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteI love it! the panels all off are very cool looking. Great fall feeling too.
ReplyDeleteYou have taken what looks to be a fussy sketch and calmed it down beautifully Marisa! I love your card to bits. Hugs Viv xxx

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is just fabulous! The colors just pop off the white background. I am not a fan of the "tilt" either...it's tough to work with, but you rocked it! Love your creations! :)
