Each month a member of the Club Scrap design team offers up a challenge for everyone to try. This month Donna challenged us all to take a sketch and flip it.... either a scrapbook sketch into a card or a card sketch into a scrapbook layout. I thought it sounded like fun so I went in search of a scrapbook layout to turn into a card. I happened upon this sketch that I thought looked like fun and it just so happened to fit in perfectly with this month's kit - Garden Shed...
And here is the card I came up with following the scrapbook lo sketch....
I stamped the background with the herb stamps (using VersaMark ink & Clear EP) included in the kit. I then die-cut the honey comb paper using 2 different size hexagon dies from spellbinders. The bee, snail and sentiment were all stamped then adhered to the card. I added the flowers but it still looked a bit bare so I made some scratchy lines using a brown gel type pen. Each of the flowers has a faux gemstone either in harvest yellow or clear.
It's not an exact replica and I used image stamps in the background instead of text but I like how it turned out. Similar enough to show the inspiration but still mine in my own quirky way.
Have you ever tried to flip flop a sketch from scrapbook to card or visa versa? How did yours turn out?

I really like the tone on tone stamping on the background! Way to make the sketch yours.
