JAI#70...Just Add a Sketch

Good Friday morning ~

I'm so glad it's nearly the weekend! I have a few fun social activities happening this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it.

Over at Just Add Ink this week we've got a cute little sketch challenge from Bron. Initially I was going to do a Christmas card - can you believe we're halfway there already? Anyway not sure what changed my mind but this is what I ended up with instead.


I've gone with a Rose Red colour combo, daubing the edges of my Scallop Circle which is popped up on dimensionals, cutting away pieces of the doily to make it more flower like and adding some gorgeous little Kaiser flowers. Kathy will be disappointed to know I didn't actually make these myself. They were a gift a little while back from BFF - she has access to waaay more cool craft stores up in Brisbane than I do here in Canberra.

Pop over to the JAI blog for lots more inspiration from the design team, and our two June guest designers. Hope you'll join us this week for some sketch fun!

Enjoy your Friday.

    You and Jo this week have inspired others to think of doilies in different ways...this card is gorgeous, love the flowers.

    Great idea to trim down the doiley! Your card is very pretty, those flowers are sweet.

    Patrice, this is stunning! Love the colours you chose, and the doily matted onto the scalloped circle. It had never occurred to me to 'customise' a doily - how clever are you??!! Gorgeous, lovey xx

    This is just so beautiful Patrice!
    I am a little disappointed, only because the flowers are so beautiful that I just wanted to copy them. :)
    I really like the way you've cut the doily away to make it look like a flower too. Very clever!
