Hip Hip Hooray! Beate's Back!

Hip Hip Hooray! Beate at Fresh & Fun is back with Weekend Sketch Challenge #29! There are so many wonderful blogs and sketches out there...more than I can keep up with, but I do like to participate in this one!

Have you been following my blog posts this past week? If so, you know that I've been "challenged" to step out of my creative comfort zone and try some new styles. I've done elegant, funky, vintage (oh my!) and the latest request by my sweet DIL Jami at Crazy Daisy Creations is. . . get this...

"URBAN CHIC"!

Do you all know what "Urban Chic" is? I wasn't so sure so I had to google it and find out...

"Urban Chic is all about "Glam"...bright colors, jewels, sparkles, shiny metals, pen outlining, sequins and other sparkles are prominent. The presence of black and white paired with bright colors is practically a must. It often has heavily inked edges and often is on white backgrounds. Some stitching can be spotted in this style. You may also find shiny glass or plastic in nice neat shapes. You may spot minimal doodling and pen out lining, but the Urban Chic is not the do it yourselfer, she would rather add sparkle than doodles. Think big city, bright lights and noise. Think Party Girl. Urban Chic is a fun time!"

So, what do you think? Does this card pass? If nothing else, I've got the black and white and a shiny plastic flower! :) And it was FUN to create! I started with Beate's sketch and then selected my black and white patterned papers. I used the rectangle Nestibilities to cut out and emboss the white piece with the sentiment and the black layer behind it. No stitching on this card, just a few polka dot brads, ribbon, and the plastic flower! Really, a very simple card!

Wishing you all a most splendid weekend! Smiles, Pam :)
