Just in the nick of time before the deadline, here’s my card for this week’s sketch challenge at Card Positioning Systems. Their sponsor this week is Lawn Fawn, a stamp company I recently discovered. Lawn Fawn offers some totally adorable images, and I decided to use them for my CPS card.
I wanted to make this a kind of boyish card for Operation Write Home. I originally planned to use some brighter colors. I have some red buttons I wanted to use, but I was having a hard time finding patterned papers that coordinated well with them. On a desperate whim, I pulled out the Kioshi paper pad to try to find some masculine papers. I liked the way these patterned papers worked together and I had buttons that coordinated with them. So I figured I’d go with this color scheme instead. The striped paper is kind of a cheat on going masculine because the other half of that sheet of paper has a large spray of flowers!
Supplies:
Stamps: Critters in the ‘Burbs, Sophie’s Sentiments (Lawn Fawn)
Cardstock: Soft Sky, Mellow Moss (Stampin’ Up); Basics White (Papertrey Ink); papers from Kioshi 6″ x 6″ paper pad (Basic Grey)
