Morning! Are you ready for Deconstructed Sketch 191? I hope you like it! Here’s the scoop on what you need to do:
1. Use the sketch up top to make a project, any kind you like using any image you like. Use the sketch to inspire your own creativity. Feel free to substitute shapes for what you have available and mount tags and circles to a card base if you’d prefer.
2. Post it somewhere on the internet (your personal blog, Splitcoaststampers, Flickr, Pinterest, etc). Use keyword DS191.
3. Link back here to Inlinkz at the bottom of the post.

I had a lot of fun mixing in all of these challenges today! The colors I used are from this week’s Color Throwdown. I LOVE this color combo. I did a little background stencil/stamping to make the dotted paper by inking through an old stencil I have. The rest went together super quick!
