Unscripted Love

Another challenge, and I tried with Washi tape -- I really did, but this one was easier with paper. I started with the current Unscripted Sketch:

and made this:

You may need to embiggen that photo to make it look less dreary. ;/

The papers are from the Basic Grey PB&J 6x6 pad, and I layered everything with SU Basic Black for contrast. I thought this was a great sketch to use the mondo Paper Smooches sentiment from Pretty Phrases. I added some Kaiser Craft yellow pearls I picked up at my LSS yesterday. Hey, they were only $1 and each card has 4 or 5 different sizes. And they come in a lot of colors. *ahem*

To show you yes, I did try with the Washi tape:

The good news is: your project doesn't slide around a lot. I'll go back and try this again, maybe with different tape, or a different design. Something will be different, for sure.

Thanks for stopping by!

ETA: I WON! I WON! The ladies over at Unscripted Sketches selected mine as one of their Top 3! *blush*

    I think the paper was a good choice. The Washi tape might have made it a bit to busy. Love the pearls. I hope you got lots of colors.

    Don't you just HATE when the ideas you have in your head don't work out perfectly in reality. It looks like it's a great start, and can't wait to see what you end up creating with it. Wonderful card. So glad you played along with us at Unscripted Sketches :)
