Basic Grey #34 Anthea's sketch

News Flash!

Changes are happening here on BasicGrey challenges :), On the 29th of May the BasicGrey Challenges blog will close its doors for a few weeks in June while we make some changes to the blog, we here at BasicGrey challenges are excited about the changes and we will be working away behind the scenes to bring you a new and fabulously improved place to be, we hope that you will enjoy the changes too and when we finally open our doors again we hope that you will join us for the fabulous Re - Launch which we hope will go off with a bang :) and of course we will be having some fabulous candy to celebrate ;)

************************
For this weeks challenge, our fabulous Design Team Member Anthea has created this fabulous sketch for you to play with :), feel free to twist, flip and stretch the sketch in any way you would like, as long as the sketch can be easily recognised you are good to go :), But remember the golden rule, there must be at least one item from Basic Grey used on your creations.



*************************
I used the Periphery papers this week. I followed the sketch but squashed it up slightly to fit a square card and in place of the circle I sat Alf on a bed of leaves. Alf is coloured with Copics and the leaves cut with the Leone Em branch punch. The sentiment is by Personal Impressions. Overall I like this card but I do think I should have left a small white border around Alf when I cut him out - he disappears into the background too much. I might re-stamp him (cut around the edge), lift him of the card and place him on the new restamped image.

Materials
DP - Basic Grey Periphery : Magnolia image Alf : Copic's : Leone Em branch punch : Personal Impressions sentiment : Rest from stash

Love it Heather - Alf looks fabulous perched on those leaves like that! The colours and papers are gorgeous too, subtle and muted to perfection. I think you have a little thing for these jingle jangle people at the minute, lol!
Have a great weekend ;o) xx

Love those papers. I am in love with Basic Grey papers lol. Only problem is my local craft shop splits all the pads up and only sells them in single 12x12 sheets. They don't do the smaller sizes either so it gets expensive buying them like that. I think I will have a look online for some pads though :)
I have something on my blog for you :)
Hugs Lora xx
