Simply52 Design Team Project

     Today, I am sharing a Design Team layout and card that I have made using the sketch above!  Make sure you go check out Simply52 blog because she has a great challenge using this sketch!  For the card, I simply used the top part of the sketch - minus the title portion!  For the colors in the layout, I chose to use the pink and mint green shades that are showcased here in the sketch!  I added a bit of silver "bling" to make the layout pop!  


Supplies:  
1 sheet patterned paper for the background
White cardstock for matting photo
2 sheets of patterned paper
1 sheet solid paper
Flower w/brad
Brads
Alphabet "bling"


Directions:  
Step one:  Cut the pink piece to go under the photo.  Set aside on top of the background paper.  
Step two:  Add the photo on white cardstock and then trim.  Add on pink paper and then the green.  
Step three:  Trim 2 small 1/2" wide lengths of the same patterned paper you used on the photo matt.  
Step four:  Add the pink paper on the top portion of the layout.  Add the photo matt on top, with the two pieces of patterned paper on the side.  
Step five:  Add the "bling" alphabet letters to the bottom of the layout.  
Step six:  On the top and bottom of one of the strips of paper, add 2 silver brads.  
Step seven:  Add the flower and brad to the bottom of the photo.  


Supplies:  
Card base
Solid paper
2 different shades of patterned paper (pink)
Brown patterned paper
Ivory cardstock
Saying stamp 
Image stamp
Brown ink 


Directions:  
Step one:  Starting with the pink solid paper, cut to size and add to the card base.  
Step two:  Add a pink patterned paper on the top of the solid pink piece, and adhere to the card.
Step three:  Trim 2 strips of brown paper for the side, adhere to the card.  
Step four:  Add a brad to one of the strips on the top and bottom.  
Step five:  Using a brown ink pad and ivory cardstock, add the stamped images to the cardstock.   
Step six:  Matt on a different pink patterned paper, and then the brown patterned paper as well.  Add to the card.  


     So you can see how easy it is to take a basic sketch and tweak it to what you want it to be!  I love this sketch, and how easy it is to use patterned paper and make a fun layout or card with it.  I hope you enjoy this project, and make sure you share with us what you have done!
