I'm in awe of stampers who consistently complete the weekly sketch challenges on the day they're posted. I'm usually at least 3-4 days behind. BUT, today I decided that I was going to do just that! And here's the result . . . phew!
The image is from Whipper Snapper, illustrated by Anna Wight, and can be found here:
I popped up the sheep's head and blanket and machine stitched around each panel. The designer papers are all by Imaginisce and come from the "Let's Pretend" series. I'm also linking this card to the Dirty Dozen Fan Club gallery play-along since their central theme this month is rainbows, and this card has every color of the rainbow except for purple! My coloring medium was watercolors, and I was inspired by the quilt blocks in the inspiration photos.
Thanks for the great sketch!
