Simon Says...Sketch

I have a card today for a sketch challenge over at Simon Says Challenge.
This sketch kind of scared me with all its layers and somehow I felt I needed to use patterned paper on the card. If you follow my blog you know I have a fear of patterned paper, it makes me break out in a cold sweat.

I remembered I had won a Basic Grey paper pack a long time ago so I decided my card was going to be made from papers in this pack.  Instead of starting my card with a stamp I started with papers and then picked my stamp last.

Am I happy with the result?  Sort of.  I like everything except the middle band.  If I had to do it over I would pick another pattern for that section.

Thanks for stopping by!

As a side note.  The tree stamp is from Sunday International and is called Lone Tree Silhouette.  I can't seem to find it online.

  2. I love it, Sue, and I think that middle band is what makes your card so interesting. I think you should try this more often! So glad you shared this with us at the Simon Says Stamp challenge this week!
