Basic Grey #32 (Chris's Sketch)

This week Basic Grey we have a fabulous sketch for you to follow, our fabulous design team member Chris has designed this sketch for us to play with :), have fun, please remember though to use at least one item from BasicGrey somewhere on your creation :) Don't forget to check out the gorgeous creations by the rest of the Design team.



*****************************

I broke into my new Lime Rickey papers for this week's challenge - and Oh boy are they bright!! This really took me out of my comfort zone - bright colours are not my thing.
I used a SN image sent to me by the fabulous Martine and kept the colouring (with Copics) quite light so that she would stand out from the papers. At least with these papers I got to use my flourescent orange flowers (I thought they were peach when I sent for them - lol) although I did 'calm' them down somewhat with by putting a paler one on top. I used that fluffy stuff (can't think what it's called) on the lamb and a sentiment (well half of it) from Royal Langernickel.

Gorgeous card Heather! The image is so cute and it really does make the difference to colour her lightly to stand up to the Lime Ricky. They really are bright, I was quite surprised when I opened mine LOL! Hugs, Chris xxx
