Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge

I am so thankful it's Saturday! It seems like it was a long week and certainly was a tiring one for me. I'm pooped and I need a break! Maybe that's why I decided to rebel with this card. I went from brights and pastels and spring-like to this edgy, grungy card. It took me quite awhile to decide what I was going to do with this week's Our Creative Corner sketch challenge our hostess Silke Ledlow presented us with. I was tired and my mojo decided it needed a break too and took off on me. Nothing appealed to me. Then I remembered this Tim Holtz stamp set that I bought at Michael's a few weeks ago on close out. I hadn't even taken it out of the package yet. Once I remembered I had it, I knew it was exactly what I needed to get the creative juices flowing again. I just needed a CHANGE and this set provided it.

The top panel is Barely Banana, stamped with Versamark and clear embossed. Then I sponged it with Close to Cocoa ink. The DP is last year's SU Bella Birds and I used Bordering Blue and Chocolate Chip for matting. I used Close to Cocoa for distressing all the layers. The ribbon is SU's black and white gingham that I smooshed into my Close to Cocoa pad (and I have the inky fingers to prove it!). I used a Spellbinders tag die instead of the scallops on the sketch - just a bit more rebellion.

That's it for this week's Our Creative Corner card. What will you do with the OCC sketch? Hurry on over to see the wonderful samples the DT has for your inspiration this week.

Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments. Wishing you a fabulous weekend!
