Freshly Made Sketches #637

We're heading out for a little getaway but before I frog-get, here is my card for Karren's fab Sketch at Freshly Made Sketches:



I found a unique way to add a little 'dappled' color to my Waffle Flower leaves:


I used this shelf/drawer liner to wrap one on TH blenders!


Kinda fun, right?  Here's a closeup of those sweet little Poppystamps Pond Frogs c. 2015:


Thanks for spending a little of your time with me this week!  Have a wonderful weekend!

I love this too much to fit all the loves on one page! The frogs are too cute, and you even gave them some bitty bumps. The leaves and the swipe of color on the woodgrain base make it exactly perfect for the sketch. Genius texture tool you created for some extra inky wonderfulness. Enjoy your getaway!

This is such a great take on the sketch, Michele! Using shelf/drawer liner for coloring the leaves is a brilliant idea! The colors and patterns of the leaves work perfectly with the cute pond frogs. The woodgrain background really adds to the scene, it totally looks like ripples in the pond!
