A Sketch for you to Try :)


Good Morning! I promise I'm trying really hard to post more often! You should see the cabinets and the desk top in my garage though, it's so cool. I can't wait to get it into our scrapbook room and get organized. I will definitely share pics :)
Today Amy Rysavy has a new sketch posted and this card was made for her sketch. I don't know what it is about rain that I love so much, but I do. It rained all night last night and I just love it. Sara's softball games got canceled yesterday because of the weather. I think it's the renewal that rain brings especially in the spring. The plants and flowers all love getting the "real" water and not just water out of a watering can. I love how everything that's green brightens up just a bit after the rain.
Anyway......I bought this little Bitzy Bugz with the umbrella a while ago and this is the first time I've use it. I just love it though!
I started with a pink base and then used BoBunny Ella Dot paper (the back of it is the plaid) and the floral paper is from Anna Griffin. I colored with prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits (big surprise there :) and I added Robin's Nest Dew Drops. I don't know what paper the pink polka dot is because I got it from my scraps and the yellow polka dot ribbon was from my scraps too! The "have a beautiful day" stamp is by AMuse Artstamps. Here is a link to the ATS blog so you can see some more examples of the fun sketch. http://www.atsblog.typepad.com/ Feel free to create your own card based on it and link it to the blog.
