Just One Sketch- Prompt 5

Still trying to catch up with MISS SMITH'S prompts from her ongoing class, JUST ONE SKETCH. The fifth prompt called for us to consider the colours and combinations we tend to turn to when scrapping, and then go for the opposite effect.


I don't really have a favourite colour scheme, but usually use quite colourful papers and embellishments. ...so I went for  mainly cream/off white papers with just a few pops of colour for this LO. Honestly. the papers are not at a slant...it's bad photography!




I'm really enjoying this class (even if I am well behind with the prompts) and seeing what everyone else is doing with their sketches.

Hope the weekend's going well for you

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

    The lighter/neutral colors work great with those photos.

    I like the subtle colour being brought in by the pink flowers and the lace, gives it mood
