What a great sketch today Roxie! Thanks!....I thought all night about what I was going to do for this SC, and this is nothing close to what I first had in mind. I think this idea turned out a lot better. So, here are the details....
Before I left for work, I made my bg dp. The top panel was made by dry brushing different colors of acrylic paints on white cs. Then I sponged meadow on the edges. For the bottom, I painted white cs with forest green acrylic paint, let it dry, sponged edges with meadow and ran through the cb using a fiskar grass texture plate. Put these panels on a white card that I sponged with ginger and pumpkin pie.
For my main panel, I stamped my image with versa mark and eb with detail black. Colored it with acrylic paints. All day long I kept looking at the leaves that were turning colors in the trees. Hopefully, I captured those colors here. I then went around my image with a blue marker. Also added the dots to tone down the white area.
Sponged the edges with meadow, then doodled them. Layered this on top of white cs that I sponged the edges with ginger and pumpkin pie. Popped this up on top of my bg. Tied another bow, that's right, I did it again. Second bow this week, I think! This may sound funny to some, but I am so ribbon challenges that it isn't funny! So, for me to use ribbon twice in one week is a challenge in its self! I know I have said this before, but it is so true!!! LOL
So, after a lot of thought all day while working, here is my card.........had a blast coloring it!.....TFL :0)
