Great sketch today Roxie! Took me awhile to put this one together. Wasn't quite sure how this was going to turn out........here's how I did it.........
1. Took brown linen cs and splattered it with white acrylic paint.
2. On a piece of white cs I masked and stamped over and over my sunflowers, colored with w/c pencils. Sponged edges.
3. On a long strip of white cs I stamped black and white squares with my newly made square stamp, sponged edges with distree ink.
4. Stamped my main image, added some very light clouds, extra grass, dirt and dots. Added the red frame I had left over from another project.
5. Stamped and colored the birdie, cut out with a circle coluzzle, sponged the edges and layered on top of another circle that I sponged red and cut out. Popped this one up. Added dew drops because of an oopsie!
6. Put this all on a white card that I sponged the edges riding hood red. Then doodled all the red parts.
So that's how this came to be a card for today.....TFL :0)

Awesome card as usual. I love the checked horizontal stipes. I love the little birdie in the circle. The little white acrylic specks are the little something extra that makes me go WOW!!!

Oh my, I cant believe you didnt spend all day in that balmy 70 degree weather thinkin' about this one! Yikes, is this ever fantastic, girl. Oh Nutmeg, every day I try and try and try to come up something like you come up with, all to no avail. No matter what I do, nothing ever looks like my good friend's master pieces! to be you for one week would be a dream come true. This is just one heck of a great card, girl. You had that thing everyone refers to as mojo. This is just great.

This is so nice. I love sunflowers. I guess because I really like their color combo. I really like the way that you sponged the sky. Looks terrific. TFS this is wonderfully fallish...
