Hey Cupcake!

Hi Everyone!  If someone were to ask me the question, "What type of challenge do you not enjoy?", without question I would answer--a sketch challenge.  I sometimes do CAS sketches, but in general, I'm pretty awful at following sketches.  I have trouble getting the proportions right.  I blame it on my lack of interest/aptitude in Geometry.  Or something like that!  But today, I'm actually participating in a full blown sketch challenge and I quite like how the card turned out:

How did I accomplish this beauty?  Well, my good friend, Sonia of SKdigis, is now hosting a sketch challenge and she offered a freebie cut file of all the layout pieces.  Now that's the kind of sketch I can follow!  I simply picked out my papers (from MME's Life of the Party), laid them out on my Cameo cutting mat and let the machine do it's job.  I printed out an SKdigi that I really like for birthday cards and colored it with my Copic Markers.  I added some brads and my sentiment and ended up with a card that I am very pleased with.  The sentiment is by SP&Company Bold Birthday Sentiments.   I didn't follow the sketch to the letter, but it's a pretty good take on it and I'm OK with the little deviations that I took.

Do you have an "achilles heal" in paper crafting?  Fill me in...

Hey Sonya,
glad to hear you tried a sketch challenge! I never stay true to them either but I love 'em. I think the idea is to take them as a 'start' and add your own spin. you did good! my Achilles heel would have to be coloring, I have along way to go!!

hugs,
Kristi
