I love this week's Freshly Made Sketch because I love the effect of clustering several small elements together into a cohesive focal point.
I took my color & design inspiration from the lovely modern quilt at the Inspired By Challenge (those are my colors).
I started by embossing a piece of watercolor paper that had been sprayed with four shades of Shimmering Bliss Spray (leftovers from the Butterfly Card) from my scrap pile with Spellbinders / Fun Stampers Journey Pretty Plaid Embossing Folder. Next I went direct-to-paper with brown ink to bring out the plaid pattern (realized when I went back and looked at the photo that grey probably would have been a better choice, but when you're working in your Alterna-Studio off your phone, you just go with it). I matted it on kraft to bring out the wooden tones of the bedside table.
Next I punched a circle from the leftover sprayed paper and another from teal cardstock ... pulling in the lime green with my square. I pulled in the darker teal from the edge of the quilt with my punched branches. I finished with a sticker sentiment mounted on foam tape for dimension ... sort of love how this one turned out.
I'm on week five in my Alterna-Studio ... we're supposed to have flooring installed in our first floor by the end of the week and all of the many boxes returned the week after that, so I can start reassembling my studio ... I am so ready to have my space back.
Love the clean, fresh colors of your clustered elements! Thanks for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
