Hand drawn element + sketch...

The challenge at http://artygirlzchallengeblog.blogspot.com/ is to use a hand drawn element in your design and it doesn't have to be something elaborate which is perhaps as well in my case!!

I had already started work on this fantastic sketch at http://cutie-sunday.blogspot.com/ and really needed to make my green layer on the card match the rest of the papers.

Using a black marker I drew the irregular square on to the green paper to match the cream layer and then used a fine tipped pen to draw the stitching line all the way round. I was really pleased when my daughter thought the paper was already made that way - yeah it must be a good match.

The green bauble is a clear stamp by a company called Stamptivity and is stamped on to the green paper, cut out and then topped with a bow. All the other images and main frame were cut from papers in my stash which I believe were originally from the English Paper Company.

Materials used:

• white base card
• papers from stash
• clear stamp by Stampivity
• green organza ribbon
• black card
