Freshly Made Sketches #402

The designers at Freshly Made Sketches keep coming with more and more fun … this one from Karren for FMS402 is a great example:


I have a few birthdays to celebrate in October - and there was an old goat sitting in my snippets that has happy baaathday written all over him...

"Happy baaathday, kid... from me,  and the old goat!'

This may not be 'clean' enough to be considered, but I just couldn't bear to not use the entire sheet!  It's an old batik from PTI that I added a bit of black detail to in order to tie it in with the black alphas. 

I'd better get him in the gallery... before he eats the entire card!  Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi Michele,
    You amaze me! I've been trying to wrap my head around this sketch for days. YOU nailed it! Love the pops of color and delightful focal points. Using up those snippets in such a fabulous way and tying it all together with black - perfection!

    That "old" goat is the perfect embellie for this clever birthday card. His placement on your design is absolutely brilliant.

    What a cute and fantastic take on the sketch, Michele! Love the humorous inside message. The way you placed the goat (with the letter K and the circle) makes him look so darling. The added black detail makes a big difference.
