¡arriba!

When I spotted the sketch over at Sketch Saturday I immediately knew I wanted to use it. I've been pondering for some time over what to pick as inspiration from Time Out's photo, and I ended up using many colors, patterns and texture. I needed to pick an image that suited my choice of colorful DPs, I went with the Mixican inspired donkey from Meljens. I used burlap for texture and the metal flower is a brad.


This card is for these challenges:
1) Sketch Saturday - #320 Sketch
2) Meljens Designs - #220 Feature Presentation (The Mexican)
3) TIME OUT Challenges - Home Sweet Home
4) Crafting By Designs - Hats
5) Top Tip Tuesday - Material Girl (I used burlap)

Great texture Pia. The brad and the hessian are perfect for this. I have those same brads...well at least a couple left...must remember to use them...as they look great with that hessian.

Great card...suits the Mexican image so well.

Thanks for the recent comments. I made three of those frame cards,,,each a little different than the others. I am showing them over the next couple of weeks so as not to be too boring! lol
