What a great challenge today. I almost always use white cs but I usually add a lot of color to it! lol Today, I tried to limit the color so that you would see that I used white cs.....a very hard thing for me to do........details......
Since taking that sketch class, I look at things around the house differently. I have a lot a cute knick knack things that in my mind would be great images for cards. So I have started to sketch a few of them. Today I sketched the chair and cow that sits on my window sill over the sink. A dear friend gave these to me, since she knows how much I love cows.
I didn't want him to be lonely, so I used a left over chicken from a card before to use to keep him company. I put this chicken in a pot, and added some left over flowers from yesterday.
Stamped the grass using Kittie Kits. Chalked the bottom green and the sky light blue. I was going to scor each corner, but when I did the one it looked like a sun so I just went with it, sponging it yellow.
Sponged lightly the panel edge red pepper, then doodled.
Stamped the black squares on the white card then sponged tea dye. Popped up the image panel. Well, hope you like my little sitters here.......TFL :0)

You just amaze me, Nutmeg! I really think you need to apply for the position of teaching that class, or, better yet, why not suggest to administration to teach a class on how to see things the way you do! This is too awesome. Love your hand drawn images! Girl, you did good today!
