blue & gold

After missing last week's challenge (Pansy #2), I was determined not to let this week's challenge get away from me.  I hope to go back and catch up on last week's too, since I really love the sketch.  This is the layout I came up with, based off of Brenda's Pansy #3 sketch for Scrapbook Steals:

The blue background paper is from Echo Park and the diamond patterned paper is by Authentique.  I used some Project Life cards from the Cinnamon edition and die cut the title using Lawn Fawn alpha dies.

As I was blogging, I realized I never posted the layout I made for the Pansy #1 layout, even though I managed to get that one completed in time.  I guess it's better late than never, so here's the layout I made using Brenda's inspiring sketch:

I used papers and embellishments from the Poppy collection by Little Yellow Bicycle for this layout.  For the title and journaling, I experimented with sketch pens and used the Silhouette Cameo.  It was much easier to use a pretty font than trying to keep my own handwriting evenly spaced.
