I turned the sketch on it's side and made a Z Fold card to match the sketch. I've never done this fold before but I'd loved it and am glad I now have it in my card "arsenal".
There were more challenges that I added to this card:
One Stop Crafts wanted you to be Optimistically Pink
Poppy Paperie wanted Crystals/Rhinestones, a Flower image and a touch of Light Yellow (I think I made it work with the Pink :))
Allsorts want Something for Mum
My Time To Craft had a Just for Mum theme
CRAFT want Mothers Day too
Simon Says wants Mothers Day/Girly
Our Daily Bread want you to "Think Outside the Box" and do something other than the regular size/fold on a card. So I try my version of a Z Fold with the sketch turned on its end.
Lucy's Cards want you to be inspired by another card and I just loved this recent card by Christine a member of the ODB DT
Crafty Ann's want you to do something you've not done before
Card Recipe:
Image - Spring Bouquet from the collection at Treehouse
Paper - Nana's Nursery Baby Girl Pad and My Minds Eye
Deep Border Punch - Martha Stewart
Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts
Rhinestones - Michaels $1 spot
Medium - Copic Markers
Sentiment - Printed Poor Richard font
Die Cuts - Spellbinders
Here you can see the Z Fold from the side
I used one of the fabulous Bouquets from the Spring Bouquet collection and there are so many in this set that I know I'll be using them again and again.
So we'd love to see what you do with the sketch, enter your creation at the Treehouse Stamps blog!
