Card is both for yesterday's teapot challenge, a card for Arman, a 12 year old student in Florida who paid off other student's lunch money debts; and for today's sketch challenge. Still practicing my coloring with the polychromos pencils; it is rather time consuming but I enjoyed it. I didn't spend a lot of time on the background behind the tree, I wanted it to look a bit loose and sketchy (plus it took less time!).

What a fabulous use of a gatefold, Jean. That little treehouse is just sweet. My brother and I were forever building treehouses. I enjoy pencil colouring but I admit I usually sponge skies...or scrape chalk pastel over and brush it in. I wouldn't have the patience to pencil a sky.

I think you did great on your coloring but you're right it does take practice. That tree house image is so cool...what a fantastic card for a thoughtful kid.
