Retro Sketch Tuesday Trigger: Sweet Dreams

My kids aren't back in school until next week and the schedule they are keeping this week means I have a nice hour (or 2 or 3) in the morning before they start demanding my time and attention. I am really been enjoying the creative time and have another card to share today.




Cath posted the current Tuesday Trigger: Sweet Dreams at Moxie Fab World blog several weeks ago. This image has been in the back of my mind and I decided to pair it with the current retrosketch#44. I love Arielle's sketches, but often find myself running out of time before I use one (and this one will be squeaking in a just few hours ahead of the deadline).





I knew I wanted to play with the quatrefoil pattern in the carpet of the Tuesday Trigger and used the Memory Box Tessatina border die and cardstock to create a similar design. Creating the pattern myself allows me to control the color palette and add extra texture to the card.



The soft teal and yellow/gold colors really appealed to me, so I used them along with the clean, crisp white. A button and twine embellishment tie the two panels together and the Papertrey Ink sentiment sits on a My Favorite Things Fishtail Flag panel. I love mixing product from different companies!

I am linking this card to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge New Something because of the my new Tessatina Border Die.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

  4. Jacquie,

    I also love this color palette you used! And the border die...is that the white over the soft teal? So cool!

    I must see that die in person (not too demanding, huh:) Can you bring it on Tuesday?
