Sketch Wednesday #8 Challenge Card!

Earlier today I posted the card Sketch Challenge below. Did you give it a try?

Here's my sketch challenge card! What do you think?

I know, I'm still on my Fall and Halloween kick. I promise the cards I post later this week will be a different theme! Hey, I couldn't help myself. I just participated in a Fall Halloween image swap on the Stamp Shack and this cute image from Penny Black was one that I received. It was begging me to color it up...so I did!

I colored this image with my Prismacolor Pencils and used Gamsol on parts of it, but I also tried out my new colorless blender pencil. I still need practice with that one. It's definitely a different type of blending, I'm just not used to it.

I used my Nesties to cut out the image and mat it a few times. I realized that my matting was going to cause me to make a larger than normal card if I was going to follow the sketch. This finished card measures 6 1/2" x 5 1/2." I added the square brads and then set it aside to work on my card base. The base itself is made from orange cardstock, and I layered black cardstock on top of it to help the patterned paper "pop." I adhered the matted image in the center and then created the side bars using black cardstock matted with yellow cardstock. I set the orange brads in place according to the sketch, and adhered the side bars on either side of the image. For a little extra "pop," I added Stickles to the pumpkin's eyes and mouth.
