Seems A Little Sketch: Sketch 17

It has been a few days but I'm back in the groove making cards and page layouts. I wanted to send a card to my granddaughter Remi who lives out of state. Since we had just been to the zoo I thought it would be fun to make a card with zoo animals. I remembered a Technique Tuesday stamp set I had bought that would be just the set to use. I used a little inspiration from Seems A Little Sketchy: Sketch 17. Here's the sketch:

 Here's my creation.

The animals aren't big but too big for a standard A2 card so I made this card a 6x6. The design papers I used were scraps from other projects. I stamped the images then colored with my copic markers. The sentiment came with the stamp set. Although it looks like the Tiger is part of the sentiment it really isn't. I cut him out as well and popped him with foam tape. He fit really well on the top of the sentiment.

In order to be making a few cards at a time for our heroes I have been trying to keep up with OWH challenges and sketches. Their Midweek Throwdown Challenge is Christmas/winter in July. I used OWH Sketch #128. Here's their sketch.

Here is my Christmas/winter card.

The paper I used for this card was scraps from My Mind's Eye last year. The letters "wish" came from a Tim Holtz Alterations repositionable magnetic die. I cut out chipboard then cut out glitter paper and cut apart the letters. The snowflakes are also glitter paper from a punch by Creative Memories. The green leaf ribbon I had in my stash that I believe is May Arts.

I liked this sketch so much I made a AnyHero card. I used papers and embellishments from Pebbles "Let Freedom Ring" kraft paper line. I just love this! I made some more cards out of this I will post at another time.

It's pretty simple but I like how it turned out. The "thank you" embellishment was an epoxy I had in my stash.

I also managed to complete a page layout using Sketch Inspiration's sketch #328

These are pics I took of my Mother and my granddaughter Kennedy Thanksgiving. Kennedy was being a real stinker not wanting to smile for me so Mother started tickling her. I used Fancy Pants summer line called "Summer Soul" for the background paper, half circle, printed paper in the middle and photo mats. Of the pink paper that was left I cut out the flower on the other side and used for an embellishment. The alpha stickers were also part of this collection. Since Mother was wearing a cow print jacket I decided to add a couple of strips of "cowhide" paper.
