Poppy Sketches #2: wheee...

Post 2 of 2 for me today...click HERE for my special Guest Designer post!

We're back with a new challenge over at

Poppy Sketches

Here's the sketch and Pop of Color:

Our super sponsor is

Stampendous!

I played with

Summer Tree Fun

I stamped the images with Black Soot Distress Ink and used a paintbrush to swirl around the ink:

I colored in the hat/shirt & shoes with distress markers (barn door/broken china).  I lightly hit it with the paintbrush that was slightly damp.

I finished off my card with a Hero Arts Fancy Felt Button (thank Lisa Spangler!) and Divine Twine in Black Licorice.

Can you tell that this card is a smidge taller?  To accommodate the tree image, my black base is 4.25 x 6.

I wanted to share my blooper card:

Yes, I was so concentrated on my watercoloring that I forgot about the Pop of Color!  I still wanted to share this card because, check out those leaves stamped in Distress Ink mowed lawn (my favorite!).

So although my Fall card is for the Poppy Sketches challenge, I wanted to also share my Summer version.

I can't wait to see how the challenge inspires you!
