Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #13

I wanted to play along again this week with the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge because I knew this one was going to truly be a CHALLENGE for me and man, I was right about that! I really struggled with this one. I have to admit that I normally avoid those diamond shaped panels (along with tilted panels - I loathe tilted panels!), but I had an idea in my head that I thought would work with this sketch so I wanted to give it a go.


It didn't really turn out quite like I had hoped, mostly because that layered frame I cut with my Silhouette ended up being much larger than I thought in order to fit that awesome {embossed} Trick or Treat circle stamped image from the WMS Midnight Feast set inside. So I ended up having to make the card a whopping 5.5-inch square - much larger than I wanted with what I had planned. I do like how my little ribbon / embellishment cluster thingy turned out, but think it kind of loses it's effect with the ginormous-ness of the card. I think it would have looked much better on a scaled-down version of the same card.


I'm pretty sure I can find a different circle frame to use that would work better and not need to be so large to fit the stamp. Like maybe the one I used on this card? But I liked the layered look of the one I used today. Oh well! I don't hate the card and I'm happy that I forced myself to create outside my comfort zone!!
