So I sat down this morning to make a birthday card for my brother, and instead, I got...this.
Uh, not what I was expecting but I rolled with it! This T-Rex just *insisted* on being the focal point for today's card. I used the great sketch from Fab Friday:
I didn't want to add a black cardstock border around all my layers, but I did want them to have a bit more definition, so I lightly dragged the edges of the layers in Basic Black ink which is just the look I was going for. I didn't do the top edge and maybe I should have? But I think it makes the colors play nice together. Speaking of colors, they're courtesy of the Color Throwdown:
Love that picture too. I used Wild Wasabi, Pumpkin Pie, and Soft Sky for my SU!-ified colors. Other than cutting out Miss Independent, this card came together PDQ. And I know just who should get it, so I think I'll go write a message in it to Emma and Abby and get this in the mail today :) What 5- and 8-year-olds don't like getting mail?
Cheers, y'all!

The blacked ink edges are the first detail I noticed....perfect way to define the separate layered without adding more cardstock. Well done! Love that T Rex as the focal element of the sketch! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
Oh, you crack me up! You know, I think a T-Rex by its nature is always going to hijack his setting, lol - and in this case, he does it quite well - fun colors, and fun little extras - I always forget what a great accent sponging can bring! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
