Freshly Made Sketches #740

 
Over at Freshly Made Sketches, Michele is this week's sketch designer 
and she's making a scene. Literally. Check out her fun sketch!
 

 Here's what I came up with and yes, that rooster makes an appearance again.
 

I used several patterned papers to cut out panels then hand cut my own slopes
and hills. I added an atypical mauve colored slope to break up the greens. I had 
some assembled roosters and chose this orange one because he stood out against 
the colorful terrain.
 
The panel was adhered to a postage card base that was hinged so the card could 
stand on its own. I tucked in a sun, popped up the rooster and white embossed 
the sentiment. The panel was finished off with a few white splatters.
 
Visit Freshly Made Sketches to see how the rest of the team interpreted 
Michele's sketch and come and play along. You have until Monday, June 15th
to link up your card. Hope to see you in the gallery!

Freshly Made Sketches #739

 
Our teammie Karren brings us a fun sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #739.
Check it out.
 
 
Oh, the possibilities with this sketch! Here's my take on it 
 

Occasionally I like to browse through my older supplies and play with a favorite
set. Do you do that, too? These leaves were and still are a fave and it made me
happy to put them on a card again.
 
I die cut three leaves and inked them, then ran them through a 3D embossing
folder that brought them to life. I also ran a strip of sand card stock through the 
same folder and lightly inked it with a white pigment pad to bring out the leafy details. 
 
The embossed strip and leaves were adhered to a card base. A white embossed 
sentiment finished off the card
