Make It Monday #143 - Modern Whimsy Style

I have been looking forward all week for an opportunity to play along with this week's Make It Monday - #143 Challenge. Danielle Flanders, the host for this week's MIM, has a beautiful papercrafting style that has been coined 'Modern Whimsy'. It is a style that I have seen a lot of in scrapbooking. I think it's a little more challenging to achieve the same look on a card, but some people manage to do it beautifully. It is a style that I have a difficult time with because I love things to be straight, so I tend to make more structured cards. I want to be freer in my styling but it is a challenge.  Not sure if I would call my card 'light & airy', but it does have lots of layers and detail and I am happy with how it turned out. I used the sketch STS#9 at Seize the Sketch, just flipped it.

 

I created a little pouch out of striped vellum that you can see a little better in the closeup below.
