Do More With Less: Captivating

Friday

Captivating

Captivating

Captivating: influencing and dominating by some special charm, art, or trait and with an irresistible appeal.

Just sharing this week's Get Sketchy card. :) Hope you find it captivating...*LOL*

captivating closeup

The background cardstock was masked and misted lightly with glimmer mists to resemble vintage wallpaper. The wood frame was upcycled from packaging. Patterned papers are from Basic Grey Curio line. Gauche Alchemy punchinella. Tulle. Pearls. Trim. Button. An upcycled ice-cream stick (coloured with distress inks). Sticker sentiment is from Cosmo Cricket.

P/s: I hope you can find time this weekend to play along with my guest Dana's challenge to get more out of your patterned papers.:)
