Day 314 at 365 cards

For this challenge we had to follow a sketch.  It looked so simple, until I tried to do it.  I had a hard time deciding what really went together, and then getting the proportions right.  I was definitely too literal on this one, trying to get things to line up.  I almost didn't blog this one, it still feels like its missing something.    The blue square doesn't look straight in the photo but it measures straight on the card.  I like the little rose die cut I had in my stash and used that as my focal point and inspiration for color choices.  Maybe I should have used a light green instead of the yellow square?  I was pulling the yellow from the striped square.  


Supplies
The Paper Co Pale Rose cardstock
October Afternoon Canning Jar cardstock
October Afternoon Flower Sack Die cut
yellow and turquoise scrap
October Afternoon Sidewalks wrap pack for the twine
Sepia Archival Ink
Stamps from a Club Ruby kit
I-roc white dots
