Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #465

Well, it's still Monday here on the Wet Coast (yup, it's raining again) so I'm here with a new challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I was kind of inspired by the grid of the background. Here's my card

I started with STAMPlorations ARTplorations Just Plaid stencil and spun sugar, shaded lilac and tumbled glass distress inks applied with oval ink blending brushes. I trimmed the panel to 4 1/8" x 4 1/8". I picked up some teal/blue cardstock and created a fish tail banner with it. I stamped the sentiment, off to the left using Clearly Besotted's A Little Sentimental stamp set and Versafine Onyx Black ink. I made a "faux" bow with some white grosgrain ribbon. This isn't a real bow but rather a 1.5" piece of ribbon, where the ends are cut on angles. This ribbon is placed inside a loop, which is tightened to look like a bow, without the bulk of a real bow. The ends were adhered behind the fish tail banner. The banner was attached to the plaid panel and the plaid panel was attached to a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" piece of the same teal/blue cardstock to complete the card.

We'd love to see how you're inspired by our sketch this week.
