All good things must come to an end....a dreaded skewed panel sketch has finally surfaced over on the Verve Forum. Had to wait until I felt a bit feisty so I had what it took to tackle this sketch. Today was the day!The colours I chose lent themselves to a masculine card. I CASED Amy's punched out rectangle on the sketch as I needed to break up the navy a bit. I added some crimping, stars and succumbed to a few buttons, but without bows so they should pass the masculine test...I hope... May use this as hubby's birthday card as I know he is okay with buttons :)
Phew!! Very glad to get that sketch over and done with - happy sigh :) Maked the old brain and creative gene work overtime, that's for sure! Good news is I can put it behind me and enjoy my day now :) I know, I'm whining but it feels good LOL!
Thanks for dropping by and listening to me complain ;o)
