Freshly Made Sketches: Rain or Shine
It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Cécile.
Last week, I found the sketch challenging but I was inspired by it and was thrilled with the results. I wanted so much to rise to this week's challenge. I wanted to create a bold, graphic card - totally out of my comfort zone. But at some point, I gave up. I do like my card but it's definitely not bold and graphic and I'm going to have to explain it!
Do you see the sketch??? The clouds and sun are the big triangle. The umbrella is an upside-down triangle - at least for this sketch it is!! The lightning is the stem of greenery. Do you see it now? Probably not!! But at least it got me to pull out an unused set out and let it see some ink.
I was thrilled recently when a friend was de-stashing and I am now the proud owner of a number of older Reverse Confetti sets (at least this one's not retired). I love them all - they were all on my wishlist and they just showed up in the mail one day. Thank you friend!
To give it interest, I did pop them at a variety of heights. This picture shows it a bit better. The top cloud and lightning bolt are on thin pop dots and the umbrella is on thicker. It's funny how a very simple card can be elevated with some dimension.
I hope to see you playing along with us!!
