Mojo Monday: Basic Grey to the Rescue

Every time I play along on a sketch challenge, I'm happy.  It might take a while to decide where I'm going, but I always like the way their prompts led me somewhere.   This week at  Mojo Monday was no exception.  I used Basic Grey's Recess line for my card, thinking it would be nice for a graduation card.  How cool is that paper?!?!?  It's all from the Recess line and I used some of Ranger's black Enamel Accents around the sentiment.

All the pencils are part of the pre-printed paper.  I cut out an extra pencil and placed it over my design element on the left so it would appear to flow.  Now I think I should've cut another one for the nib showing under the half circle, but too late for that!  The main shape is a cylinder from Cricut's George & Basic Shapes cartridge. Here's the sketch and my take:

 


Please remember to comment on the post at the top of the page for a chance to win the Tim Holtz Prize Package....your enthusiasm makes me smile and it appears there are many of us who agree a little more Tim on the work table won't hurt.  I will draw a winner tomorrow!

Great background paper. I like your enlarged barrel in place of the oval.
