AAA Cards Challenge #193: Sketch + Critters, with video

 


This fornight we're playing with a sketch over at AAA Cards Challenges and the optional twist of Critters was chosen by Joy.

For my card I flipped the sketch upside down, you can do that as long as we can see the sketch in your card.

I've masked off a strip at the bottom and instead of making it straight I went for grass as I thought critters live in grass, hadn't decided on which critter I would use just yet, but figured you can't go wrong with grass. Applied Distress ink Mowed lawn and for the "sun" Mustard seed and carved pumpkin. 

Now I went with the circle in the sketch, but offset it a little as my cardbase if rectangular,



not square as in the example. but as it could be any shape, my gnome could have been the circle with in the sketch. I just thought this would look more recognizable.


the Gnome was in my precoloured stash and is from StampinBella (the Gnome and the Birdie). For the sentiment I went with one from Woodware stamps (Good Friends set) and stamped it with Versafine ink and then heat set it.

Mounted the Gnome with foamtape and adhered it on top.
