Groovi Sketch

Netta has taken over as host of the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this month.

I love the sketch she has chosen for us to work with:

I like to use my Groovi parchment kit for sketches - it's rarely appropriate for the other challenges but works well for these.

This time I used a pale turquoise parchment - as I do a lot of colouring (rather then white work) I'm not sure the coloured parchment is best for me, but it is rather pretty.

I'm a bit out of practise and had a few fails where I went into areas I didn't want to - don't look too closely!

To back the parchment I used some patterned papers I bought in a charity shop years ago - I'd forgotten I had them, but they're really lovely. I used a different paper behind the squares to highlight them - it's subtle but they do stand out more than they did without it.

I'm pleased with how this came together - I never have much of a plan when I start, thank goodness for the sketch!






I'm late posting this so the challenge has been open for a few days already on the 52CCT blog - to join in, you have until Friday 7th Feb.
