Such a fun sketch Rox. Thanks! I had stamped and colored this Whipper Snapper image last week and set it aside. It was colored with re-inkers and acrylic paints on w/c paper. Today it worked beautifully for the sketch challenge......here's what I did.....
Cut my already colored image out with my nesties, also embossed it. Sponge some color on the edges. This is #4 panel.
Made my #2 panel by using another one of the sponging kits I bought awhile back. I am loving this stuff. I did this one on glossy linen cs.
The #3 panel is white cs that I sponged some of the bronze paint on then sponged the edges with taken with teal.
The #1 panel is a kraft card. Put all my panels on the kraft card according to the sketch. Then thought, this needs something more. SO....
On a panel of acetate, I glued on the sprinkler head I drew and colored with copic markers. Turned on the hose and added the water lines. After all, these birdies needed some water in their bath. It was a cooker today! Didn't want them to fry! LOL
Wasn't sure how to put the acetate on, so I put a tiny glue dot on the corners, then I made some faux brads to cover the dots. Well, hope you like this. .........TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Did you get the picture of the dog sitting in the pool while I was cleaning it? She was so hot!

Tell me, Nutmeg, is Wednesday bath day? I've seen so many bath tubs today, I'm beginning to wonder if there's something between wed and baths. Oh well, I guess I'll just continue to wonder what the relationship is. I love your SH image and oh so adorable in that blue. Just look at the really pretty paper you've used as your main panel. I must admit I dont think I'd ever be able to draw a sprinkler. You done good on this one, my friend. It's really sweet and so colorful.

Such a cute card! As Anne Ryan would say: "Are you feeling ok after that wild tea party?" Something in the same name must have made me say that!
The acetate sheet with the amazing hand-drawn sprinkler with the water spout is pure genious! Such a cute image too! Love that gorgeous DP with the copper on it! Great card!!!!

Cathy, this is adorable. I love how you have your little birdies colored. I like how the sprinkler is at the bottom and you have it spraying onto the little birds. This a much better option for them than getting into one of your pools. I would think that a bird bath would be a lot easier to clean.
