♥ getting sketchy with OA ♥

good morning. today is sketchy thursday on the OA Blog. for the post today,
kinsey created this versatile and fun sketch as a starting point for us and for all of you♥




I was really excited when I received Kinsey’s sketch because I immediately had two ideas for cards.

My first card, Just You & Me Pard’ner, is a more liberal interpretation of the sketch. To start my card, I chose to play liberally with the strip banner and used the cute chipboard fence from Sasparilla, as my starting point. The circle elements were easily filled with the star patterned chipboard circles and placed along the fence in good western fashion. (My son is turning 12 this week and my husband bought him tickets to see his beloved Phoenix Suns play. The adorable “looks like it’s just you and me pard’ner” sticker was a perfect sentiment because it will be just my son and husband going to this game, their first big father/son game with seats on the floor, a very special celebration indeed.)

On my second card, You, I pulled out my Cakewalk box and began pouring through all the amazing and fun colors and patterns and created a more traditional interpretation of the sketch. I really am longing for spring here, with snow all last week, so I decided on a spring palette and butterflies to replace the circle elements.
