Pretty Little Studio Challenges!

Happy Saturday everyone!

I have finally had a break from DT projects (and some surprises coming this next month) that I had sometime to play along with the Pretty Little Challenges this week.  I have missed a couple of weeks and felt good to get out my PLS goodies and play along.

My first project is for their sketch challenge.  Keri Babbitt creates the BEST sketches and I really enjoy using them for inspiration. 

Here is the fantastic sketch...

Instead of a layout, I made a card.

Using a Crafter's Workshop diamond stencil, I misted part of large tag.  This created a great looking background for my card.  I layered the tag over a piece of BG patterned paper and a scrap of PLS paper.

For the diamonds, I cut several from a piece of diamond PLS patterned paper and stitched them in place.  I added one of those fun little PLS clowns, some twine, and the title.  That's it...pretty quick and easy.

For the Inspiration Challenge, I used this photo as inspiration.  (Source Design Seeds).

I used the new PLS Monsieur collection for my layout.  It was a perfect match for this challenge.

That's all for today.  Now back to DT projects.  :)  Have a great (rest of the) weekend!  Thank you for taking the time to stop by and spend some time with me.
