It's time for another sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches! Here's what Melissa has designed for you to work with this week...
     
TMS201sketch
   
...and our generous sponsor offering up this week's prize is Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.
     
I have to admit, I REALLY struggled with this one... I'm sure you all know by now that I'm not one to do a lot of embellishing. The combination of the tabs at the corners and flowers at the bottom was throwing me off big time! I finally decided to take a little creative liberty, and ax the flowers... gotta be myself! :)
      
The image is Thank You Lenny from Stamp Fairy, and was a freebie I came across HERE on the Stamp Fairy Blog a while ago. Lenny is my favorite Stamp Fairy character! Isn't he a cutie?
       
I've colored him with Copics, then sponged the edges of the white cardstock with Antique Linen Distress Ink to better match the patterned paper (which is from the Jillibean "Chilled Cucumber Soup" Collection).

I think in the end, my card turned out okay. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for this sketch! It's always fun to see another person's take, especially when it has been such a challenge for me!
Be sure to visit the Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog... my team-mates represented the sketch far better than I did, and their creations are sure to inspire you!

Laura, I loved your card!! The coloring is great (someday I'll get good...maybe) and I feel like I could just reach out and HUG Lenny. Thanks for sharing the inspiration.

Laura, this is so darn cute. Your little teddy is colored to perfection! I have a hard time with coloring teddies, so I'm definitely making note of your color combo and your image as a yardstick for me to better my skills! The DP you've used on this card is lovely.

Love your card honey. I saw it on the TMS challenge and saw you'd used a Stampfairy image. Love how you've coloured Lenny bear.
Thanks so much for showcasing our image so beautifully.

Absolutely! You have GOT to be able to tweak here & there :) I *love* how this turned out - and it's way more *you* than it would be if you'd plunked the flowers on! Once again your colouring is STUNNING, Laura :)
