I've had the sketch from Kathy's Waffle in my *to-do" file all month … and when I saw the Ready for Red Tuesday Trigger at the Moxie Fab World blog tonight, and idea finally came together.
I loved the grey floral pattern with the contrast of the wood and lovely red chair … I also incorporated the positioning of the chair and used a polka dotted embossed paper (inked for dimension) because it reminded me of the tufting in the upholstery … I also inkcorporated wooden veneer butterflies from Studio Calico for the wood element in the design.
I stamped Hero Arts Leaf & Flower Background in Charcoal chalk ink before adding my paper & wooden elements all inked with a variety of red & maroon inks. I finished with grey ribbon and several words to express the spirit of the design.
I love the way this sketch works in so many ways – The stylish red, black, white combo is fab.
Thanks for playing along with The Sketch File
That red and grey combo really works! Great take from both the sketch and the TT photo!
This is so elegant! Love it! Gray and red just go together, don’t they!?! Bev
Terrific combined challenge card! Great use of colors and wood elements for the Trigger. Love that bkgrd stamp. Nice Kathy Waffle sketch presentation, as well. You use some of the most interesting sketches for your cards, which is refreshing. 🙂
beautiful!
Lovely card, Stef! Love the butterflies!
Way to combine the challenges! Love it!
