Didn't have a chance to do the color and sketch challenges until today, so I thought I'd combine them. This isn't at all what I started out to make and I'm not entirely happy w/ it, but, oh well.
I found this photo in my scrap pile. It was already cut in strips and that's what set me off in this direction. It was a photo my sis took a few years back. Well, the colors really seemed to fit the challenge so I made a window out of it by adding strips, a frame and a little curtain valance at the top made w/ dp and a little vellum which were punched w/ a border punch.
I made the sketch strips out of black c/s and overlaid it w/ s.sky lattice pieces cut w/ a cb die.The sentiment is stamped on one of the circles cut w/ a sizzix. These are alternated w/ the scallop flower Quickutz dies. Tiny little punched stars are at the left bottom and big stars layered (cb die) at the left top. All red dots were done w/ a red glaze pen.

Very neat and creative card!! I love what you did with the main dividing lines - the pattern with the blue diamonds and the red dots. The sentiment treatment is nice too. It's really an eye catching card!!

Wow! Love the card. I like how a picture looks when it is cut into strips. I still have a hard time doing that. But I am inspired by your wonderul card so I might just have to go cut some up! lol TFS :0)
