For today's Sketch and yesterday's Colors. These colors spoke Valentine's Day to me. I tried using spritz for the first time (I'm sure you can tell) and I was too close so it ended up being thicker than expected. I paper pieced the elephant, used markers for the flowers, sponge for the grass, and sponged around each dp and image paper with red, added ribbon and a heart eyelet. Thanks for stopping in today! ~Roberta

I absolutely love the way you paper pieced your little elephant to match your background, Roberta! I'm always heavy handed with anything that spritzes......but I think yours turned out beautifully....it just wasn't what you were expecting, but look at it again....it's perfect with all your other elements!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

This is so cute! I love that she's holding a heart on her trunk. If you hadn't told us you over sprayed, I would have thought it was planned - anyway I like it!
