I made this card for the MMSC #40 sketch challenge. I have wanted to use this stamp and this was my opportunity? What little girl doesn't love...carousels, purple and pink?! I do.
I hung the bracket from the top of the card. This made the top of the carousel. The 3 doo-dads that were on the bracket in the sketch can be found as 3 stars on the base.
I used Marvy markers and a gel pen to color the horse. And, I used non-smear pastels to give a dream like quality to the card. I used a stipple brush to get that look.
Thanks so much for looking, and I would love constructive comments on how to improve.
He IS Able,
Traci S.

Hi Traci - it is great to see you again! I love this image and yes, every little girl would love it! You know Traci, we each add our own 'flavour' to our work and that is what makes it yours and unique. Personally, I don't think there is anything you could do to improve it, I love the arty feel that your cards have and would hate to see that change because you are influenced by my comments! This is perfect and I say this sincerely, I will be watching with interest as you evolve - you work is a 'breath of fresh air' my friend! Thanks for playing along with the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week Traci, we love to see your cards and look forward to seeing you again next week! {{{hugs}}}
