Hi everyone, Mou here with today's sketch.
Usually when I use patterns that are rich in color and bold in design, I like to keep the basic scheme of my page linear and simple. For example,
I used October Afternoon Daily Flash Apple Cider mini collection on this layout. I chose a white cardstock for background to create a blank canvas for the beautiful warm colors of the Bonfire, Corn Maze and Harvest papers with which I made the base layers. A little washi tape, few Tin Pins and some splatters of paint later, I added the photo, title and journaling. For me the hardest part of this layout was choosing just three papers from the collection. Here's a close-up view
Today, I have Amy playing along with me and here's her take on the sketch
Amy says: " I really loved the layers in Mou's sketch and decided it would be a great one to create a card with. I used buttons in place of the circles in the sketch. Instead of using a single photo, I used the main space for my sentiment and image for my card, cut from the adorable paper from Apple Cider, called Pumpkin Picking (http://www.octoberafternoon.com/show_product.php?line=DFAC&num=02)"
Isn't the card adorable? Thanks Amy!
You can play along too! Just follow the sketch and make it your own, use any OA papers and goodies you want, and share your project with us on the OA Flickr Group.
Thanks for stopping by :)
