Retrosketches #60

I'm stopping in today with my card for this week's Retrosketches challenge. This week's sketch is based off of this card that I made. This is one of my favorite cards I've ever made, so I was super excited to give it another try and see what I could come up with.

Here is my take:


For this card I flipped the sketch. I wanted my card to have the same feel, but still be different than my original one. I also switched the solid and patterned panels. I love these flowers and I really wanted them to pop, so I stamped them in some fun bright colors. To add a little depth to them, I added a little color with my Copics. Papertrey actually has a stamp set that does this for you now, but I like to do it with my Copics.



Here you can see that I attached the green panel with foam tape and the flowers with my dots. I know..no surprise there. One of these days I'm going to do a card with no dimension and surprise all of you...haha.

Here is this week's sketch. I have to say that it's so neat to see one of your cards put into a sketch.
I hope you can join us this week. I would love to see what you create with this sketch.

Blessings,
Deanna Jean

  4. Deanna this is just gorgeous. I honestly feel that accenting the Rosie Posie stamps with Copics is a much lovelier effect than the new stamp set. So much softer. Beautiful.

  5. This is such a beautiful card. I loved the original, and love this one, too. I am so happy that you are the retro sketch this week. You are one of my biggest inspiration, and I just love to case your work--this week, I have 'official permission', too. And, I am also addicted to your dots--just the perfect height for that little something extra.
