Sunflowers and Dragonflies Sketch Challenge


Welcome to the 3rd blog challenge from the Sunflowers & Dragonflies DT! This week’s challenge is a Sketch Challenge & you can see it below. Anyone can play along in the challenge and we hope you will! There are no limits on time or supplies. Of course we’d prefer that you use images by Sunflowers and Dragonflies, but feel free to use other images. Your participation will enter you in a drawing to win a Nestability Labels 2 set for free! Please post a direct link to your challenge project from either your blog or an online gallery to the Sunflowers and Dragonflies Blog, so we can view it. If you upload to an online gallery, please use the keyword S&D3.



I turned the sketch sideways for my challenge project. Isn't this baby moose image from Sunflowers and Dragonflies adorable? I just love those little wobbly legs and that safety pinned diaper!



I colored this Cutie with Prismacolor Pencils and blended the colors with Gamsol. I sponged pink ink around it while it was still in the Nestie die, layered it as shown, and assembled it according to the sketch. The background layer was texturized with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and I added pink satin ribbon layered with a Prima Flower and a yellow button to dress it up.

Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, SU! Pretty In Pink

I've also created a little boy's baby card for this sketch as well, but I we haven't had nice picture taking weather recently. I'll post it in the next few days for you all to see.

Thanks for creating such an awesome sketch. Your card rocks the sketch. I like how you added the ribbon the way you did, and the brown cb bg is so pretty with the pink and the moose.
