This was a fun sketch. I am so glad it was posted early. I was able to find the stamp I wanted and get it colored last night. So today, all I had to think about was how to make my dp. .........here we go.....
Last night I stamped Sorry Sam, as he is called, on cs, colored with prismacolor pencils and gamsol. Cut the circle out with my coluzzle. On some scrap cs, I stamped Fuzzy Mouse coloring him the same way. Stamped the cheese and colored with Faber-Castell Pens. Cut out.
For my dp, I cut a 4 inch square of ww cs. Cut it in half on the diagonal. On the bottom half I stamped sanded with ginger, sponging with tea dye. On the top half, I stamped because of you all over, colored w/Faber-Castell Pens, then versa marked and clear eb. Then I brayered bashful blue on top.
Glued these two pieces on my card that I had sponged bashful blue on the edges, plus I doodled the card edges.
Before I popped up the circle, I sponged and doodled the edges. I also popped up the Fuzzy Mouse. Then glued on the cheese.
Well, there you have it..........TFL :0)

This is just darling. Love your handmade dp AGAIN!!! I am sure darling Anne will find a reason for this card to be hers again too!!!!!!!!!! I think she is the one wanting your cards to sell because she has *people* she needs to pay. I am your sweet sister who would NEVER think of selling any work of art I receive through the mail. Little Sophie has not recovered from not receiving a get well card from you and I am now unemployed....do I feel a card coming my way yet. What does a sister and a dog (who was rescued) have to do to get on your list!!!
Your cards are never a disappointment. Love this one too.
hugs,
cj
empty mailbox again. maybe I should fly out to wherever that lady lives and check her mailbox......I'll take Sophie with me!!
