Baubles- The Sugar bowl 41 and Basic Grey 26



This week's challenge over at the Sugarbowl is a sketch challenge.
I had such a hard time with this challenge.

At first I thought what a great way to use Baubles, but as I choose the DP it just went down hill.
I think my coloring came out great, but this sketch was difficult.
Instead of a star, I scanned the Basic Grey DP Mistle Toe and Pears and blew up the snowflake.
I originally thought that would look cool since i used the original DP behind it on one of the layers.
But the layers cover up the base DP which is also by BG and has ornaments all over it.
UGGGGGGH.
I added some pearl embellishments and I think that helped,but this is not one of my favorite cards!
And since pearls are the challenge over at Basic Grey Challenges I can use it there too!

Gena, your card isn't as bad you think. Gorgeous coloring! You are very clever to have enlarged the snowflake behind her. I am pretty much challenged in mixing patterned papers myself so I am no help in that department. But if I may suggest the snowflake to be either dark blue (the pearls would really pop) or add a 2nd snowflake behind the first one but with a darker shade. just my 2 cents...
Thanks for joining the Sugar Bowl Challenge!
