Freshly Made Sketches #675

We have the fabulous and fun Linda as our host over at Freshly Made Sketches #675 and I couldn't wait to play... in fact I went right into my studio after reading her post this morning!

 
Too bad I didn't take a second look at her sketch before the glue was dry...


Think she'll notice that my branches are starting out on the wrong side of the card?
WAIT!!  So did HERS!! and I love it!
  

I think I'm safe!

Base: Lil' Inkers Dip-died dsp
Parklane embossing
MFT Sweet Besties stamps and dies
Branches from Altenew Tropical Vibes Project Kit

Linda said to 'use those lines for anything!'  I just followed orders and thought these besties could have a lot of fun swinging from those branches!  Thanks, Linda!

Well you just made me laugh! I didn’t even notice I flipped the sketch until I posted my card on the main blog……and then I thought uh oh…..and then I thought Ahhh It’s all good…lol…art is all about freedom of expression right??. Your card is adorable! I am loving those skinny gals just hanging around! Delightful!

It's always a wonderful surprise to see what comes out of your craft room! I love all the whimsy and fun of this, and the beautiful leafy embossing. Super cute and truly inspired!

What a fun way to use this sketch, Michele! I think the sketch is safe, but I'm not sure about these Besties! It looks like they're hanging by their fingernails!

I thought it was monkeys that swung from branch to branch, but have to admit your version did bring me a good laugh!! Cute, CUTE card Michele!! Hugs. :0)

How cute are they! Look at their little skinny legs just dangling in the breeze! Super cute and I think you're safe!

I'm often told that use a sketch as inspiration and so you did! Not wrong...inspired! And adorably inspired at that. What a fun card!

This is such a FUN card, and we need fun so badly, don't we??? You can flip a sketch any way, and if you flip this one, you get your design. All good! It's adorable!

The flip of the sketch totally works Michele - those cuties look like they are having swinging fun! Love the ombre stripes over the embossed background too - what a neat effect.
