For this week's tea-party, which was a colour challenge. Hey Sheri - is that you reflected in the brown teapot? I'm sorry I didn't have just that shade of brown - I know there's a distress ink close, but it's not one that figures in my collection!
A simple, outdoor manly card was what we were asked for, so I set Sherlock Beagle in an outdoor setting, and hope that after a bit of searching he will be able to find the wood.
A2 base, watercolour paper. Snoopy stamped and masked. Trees stamped multiple times with Versafine Olympia Green, then sponged with Pine Needles. Sky sponged with Stormy Sky, foreground with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain shadows under the trees. Snoopy's cape and hat are various shades of brown.
Lots of Thoughts sentiment punched with Word Window Punch and threaded through the card using the slot punch. Edges distressed and swiped with Walnut Stain.
Glossy Accents on the lens of the magnifying glass.
I know we were told to write BIG on the insides of our cards for Sol, which I will, but I'm afraid I didn't have a suitable BIG sentiment to use on the front.

What a sweet little scene with Snoopy! Giggle! I love those trees....and no worries about the sentiment......It might be small but it sends a big message! A wonderful addition to Sol's gallery of cards...You did good Sabrina...

What a great BG for Snoopy, Sabrina...your masking is exquisite! Your ground/earth are so well done too. This is a beautifully crafted card which is sure to bring Sol quite a smile.
