It's Wednesday and time for a new sketch from
Freshly Made Sketches. Jen M. is our fabulous hostess this week and she has a sketch with one of my favorite things, a banner! Woo Hoo! I had several ideas for a card but ended up going with this squirrel card because I needed a card to send a friend who just loves squirrels. I am not that happy with how it turned out, so I might put a few things apart or start it all over. I don't know if it's the colors or what, but something feels off to me. Maybe making it while Laila supervised made me nervous. lol I think it's actually because it is so dark and I've gotten used to mostly white space. Going back to colored card stock is hard!
I hope you'll come play along and get your banner on with us! Now I'm off to have a quick coffee, drop the cat off at the vet, and then go pick up a few groceries. It's an early start to the day. *yawn*
Love this! That little guy just pops on the white banner! Cute as can be!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about dark cardstock after mostly using white, but take it from me, this card is the cutest! I was actually drawn to the background first.
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute squirrel. And I love the little heart speech bubble. I'll bet your friend will love it just the way it is!
ReplyDeleteI think this looks pretty fabulous! I love the colors that you've chosen and the woodgrain embossed layer couldn't possibly be a better look for Rocky the squirrel! :)
ReplyDeleteYou creativity has no end! I love the colors...the browns with a pop of red is so eye-catching. I can't believe you'd think about changing even one thing about this card. The rustic look with the squirrel is perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card Rita! I love that squirrel! so cute! You definitely are the colouring queen! I think I need to take a trip to Texas for some lessons!!!
