Huge Thanks !

     I love this image from Dude Time Doodles (of course, I love most of their digis!) and knew as soon as I saw it that I'd have to make a card for my SIL who is the greatest holiday dinner chef in the world.  Mmmmm.  Their challenge this week is Anything Goes.


Sketch came from my favorite place for sketches - Eat, Sleep, Stamp, finally back after a loooong time without sketch challenges (OK, only since before Christmas but it felt like months!  When you're addicted, you're addicted.)

Sketch 155

     Image is colored with Promarkers and all the papers are from DCWV, the La Creme stack.  I did sponge the papers lightly with Walnut Stain distress ink.  Image is fussy cut, matted with black CS scraps left over from another project.  The striped circle is punched with a 2" circle punch.  Sentiment is my own, printed and matted with scraps of black CS.  Everything is layered onto a black card base.

     I'm entering this into the following challenges:  (Yes, a lot of challenges, but so many had an 'Anything Goes' theme so how could I resist?)

I must admit it looks more like me than my husband - he's always making great meals and I'm left happy and "fat". Your card is darling, Connie. Love how you cut him out, and used the stripes and dots to create depth and introduce "manly" colors.

Larelyn said...

Fantastic image - it says it all, doesn't it? Happy New Year, Connie. So glad to be able to stop by and see your creations.
Hugs,
Larelyn
