I went on a Christmas card-making class at Laine's earlier this month. It was a Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses fest (papers and chipboard shapes) and I've loved working with the delicate blues, greens, pinks and burgundies. We got a bottle of Stickles and turquoise gems included in the price too, and there were a couple of teenaged girls on the course who THREW AWAY their unused ribbon and scraps - so I rescued those out of the bin too! We finished (nearly!) 6 cards at the class, had instructions for 2 more which I made, and I managed another 3 with the leftovers. I still had a small pile after all that, so I used them to make this week's Basic Grey Challenge. I like Tara G's sketches. Some designers' sketches seem to have hundreds of layers, and I end up with a card that is so front-heavy that it keeps falling over. But Tara's aren't like that - they're always so sensibly designed and satisfying to create. See what I mean?
And this is what I did with it. Stuck to it to the letter this time! It also qualifies for Week #31, Fab's sketch challenge.

LOL at you rummaging through the dustbin! Lovely card, Rosey, maybe I should buy some of that line...x
Rosey this is absolutely stunning - I love how you've used the Eskimo kisses paper and that little house is adorable as is that stunning sentiment. (All out of scraps - you scavenger you - you should see what I retrieve from bins - I have 5 metres of thick white cord that I don't think I'll ever use - unless I decide to hang myself lol).
