September Challenge


Hello and welcome to September. 

Our challenge to you this month is this sketch from Pagemaps



Here is how the design team interpreted the sketch:


When I started to make this card it wasn't my intention to use only black, white and grey it just evolved this way. I am really pleased with the result especially as cards are not really my forte. The stamps are all PaperArtsy. 





Well, I totally love the sketch and tried to stay as true to the design as possible.  I've used my Fuse tool to make the transparent hearts and added blink inside to make the layout more playful!




My page for September, the story behind the photo is on my blog.


This sketch looked like a romantic card to me.  I love the combination of all the textures and colors.
