A day late and a dollar short, but I'm here to share my Tuesday Morning Sketches card...

    

We have Raisin Boat joining us as our sponsor this week, and a fun sketch designed by Melissa...

         

       

...and this is the week we throw a TWIST at you! We want to see MASCULINE cards using the sketch. Not too difficult, right?

       

     

I am into all things girly and cutesy when it comes to stamps, so making guy cards is REALLY tough for me! So... I went a little more boyish than manly with my take...

          

Window - B000, B0000

       

  My little guy loves anything to do with tools and construction, and has since before he was 2. We are coming up on his 5th birthday, so I thought this could make for a fun birthday card. The image is "Dump Truck" from Bugaboo (one of the $1 digis - such a steal!) and is colored with Copics. I wanted the dirt in the truck to have a little "texture", so I used the pointillism technique after laying down the base color.

     

Luckily, I found the most PERFECT patterned paper in my stash to go with this image. It's from the Bo Bunny "On the Go" 6x6 pad. It's PERFECT, right!? Continuing on with the whole construction theme, I decided to have the diamond shape on the sketch resemble a caution sign, hence, the blinding yellow! :) I also thought it would be fun to use the horizontal strips in the sketch to look like treadmarks going across the card... so I cut strips of dark brown cardstock, and stamped a single chevron repeatedly with Versamark Ink.

        

I honestly wasn't sure if I could pull together all of my ideas for this card, but I think it turned out pretty cute... and more important, my little guy will love it! :)
