I made this for today's sketch challenge. This was a really fun and easy sketch. I colored the little boy with alcohol markers (spectrum noir), and then water colored around him with sage shadow reinker. The designer paper was two sided so I used the striped side and the flip side beneath the three long panels. I layered all that onto black and then onto red. I sponged the red cs with black ink to give it a dusty look. I thought it would go well with the dp because the red stripes in it have a black or charcoal grainy look. I took a real turn on my background because I was originally planning to use burlap paper, but when I saw this, I knew it was what I wanted to use. I did change the sketch a little by moving my main image to the other side. I thought it looked better to have the little boy looking to the middle of the card rather than off the side. Hope that is ok. Thanks for looking!

You did right by switching the main panel, Geni! This little fella with his jeans rolled up, straw hat, suspenders and dog in tow are SO country, and I love it all! Cute frog on the sentiment panel too~

Evokes memories of Tom Sawyer....your cute image which you colored so beautifully, Geni. The stripe DP has wonderful masculine colors to complete your card.
