Freshly Made Sketches #8-{Look for the Silver Lining}

Hump day is here! Hooray!  I'll admit it, I am pooped. But looking at the bright side, there is nothing like a Freshly Made Sketch to spruce things up! This week we have Holly Endress as our Featured Designer. Holly is our fearless leader at The Friday Mashup and I am so happy to have her on board!  And so without further ado, here is the sketch!


I have been trying out some "new to me" stamps and papers. This week I wanted to play with a digi stamp from Torico. I love her sweetly drawn digital images and who could resist this sweet puppy dog face. 

I coloured him with similar colours as Rolley (our pup).  I wanted the pattern paper to look like raindrops falling heavily out of the sky! The sentiment is from AMUSE and the flowers are some from my stash.  I also used a Tempting Turquoise base and Whisper White as an accent colour.
I coloured the image with my Copics and used my Circle Nestabilities to cut out the shape. The scalloped border was created with my SU! Scallop Edge Punch.  I wanted to complete the card on the inside and so added some pattern paper and a flower, to make it all match plus another sentiment from AMUSE..."Thinking of You".  We hope that you will join Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
