Inkspiration Sketch #49



Keesh came up with another fabulous sketch this week.  I combined her sketch with last week's ColorQ challenge as I just loved the mix of earthy fall colours.  There were six colours in the mix this time round, but they all blended fabulously together so though it looked daunting at first, it was actually an easy mix to work with.

I played around with various lets and finally settled on another of my favorites, PTI's Turning a New leaf, because by default Fall reminds me of leaves and I'll use any excuse to use this set LOL!

Love this polka dotted Recollections DP from Michael's and just realized I used it on my very first Inkspirations DT sketch a few weeks back - sorry about that - but it's a great match to Cajun Craze :) !  Cutting out the leaf wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I was lucky enough to have three brown buttons in my stash.

The rest of the Design Team has some great inspiration to get you going on this week's sketch.

  1. Gorgeous Marisa! Love the earthy colours on the crisp, white backgrounds. Your fussy cutting is superb & the little "seeds/berries" you have added are a perfect touch. :)

  7. That's really cool how your vine extends beyond the borders of the oval mat. It makes it seem like it's growning out of the cad. I like how you attached the bow at the base of it too. Great use of the color combo.
