Squeaking in under the wire with my card for this week's SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY. I pulled a muscle in my back on Monday and ended up going to the ER on Thursday. Long story short, I'm feeling much better this morning but that's due to some "good drugs", know what I mean?! But I also feel a little loopy so forgive me if typos and weird statements end up here in this post...ha!
This sketch sorta scared me...I'm so not good at free form/asymmetrical layouts. I chose another PURE INNOCENCE set called MVP. I just loved this little guy and the cheerleader that came out in the same release from MY FAVORITE THINGS a little while back. So cute!
The patterned papers hare are from OCTOBER AFTERNOON (graph/stripes) and COSMO CRICKET (polka-dots). All is colored up with Copics and I added a teensy bit of airbrushing to the circle frame layer. I used the tumbling footballs to represent the circles in JEN's sketch. He's a very colorful football dude...not sure that these colors would work in the NFL or NCAA...maybe in the powder puff league though!
Make sure that you hop around to the rest of the SFYTT blogs and see what they've created with today's sketch...

This is so so so so cute! I love the footballs and how you did the sentiment! Really fun! And I like the ribbon with the zig zag paper.

This was an unusual sketch and you did a great job. I love those "boyish" images.

I'm so sorry you hurt yourself. Hoping you get better soon. You did such a cool job with the sketch. Again, you're thinking outside the box I seem to stay in.
