When I saw these quarter round things for the sketch, I immediately thought.....HILLS! If you are familiar with my gallery you know I love to sponge scenes with hills. So today, this sketched worked perfectly for me.........quick details.....
#1 - On a white cs panel, I used one of the left over quarter circle parts and sponged the sunrise or sunset depending on if you think it is morning or night. Stamped the checkered border on the bottom of this panel.
#2 a & b - Sponged my "hills" and stamped some clumps of grass.
#3 - I rolled the picket fence from CDS, colored with copics. Versa marked and clear ep it. Tore a strip of paper and used it for a stencil to sponge some flat type hills. Added some straw clumps.
#4 - Stamped the border, and bale of hay. Popped this panel up.
Versa marked and clear ep all images. Layered panels with black cs. Stamped my chubby chick and little chickies, colored with re-inkers, cut out and popped up all but one.
This was all put on a white card sponged with tea dye. So, what do you think of my little chick-a-dee card?.........as always, TFL :0)
