I Tried

I tried to do the sketch challenge today, but I could not get it to work with this image (I'll try again later). Keeping with my plan to keep my cards simple, I came up with this layout instead.

I stamped the image twice and colored it in with my Sharpies -- surprise surprise. I cut the little boy out and popped him up to give the card a little dimension. I messed up his foot -- can you see the little bit of green on his foot -- I figured that this could be dirt. My boys always end up with dirt on their feet when they are outside during the summer. I need to practice coloring this dog. I have done this image approximately 4 times, and I cannot seem to get the the shading correct. Last but not least, I sponged the water with Soft Sky ink, and the sky with Barely Banana.

This image is from High Hopes stamps, it is called Time Well Spent. The DP is from Basic Grey, it is called Stella Ruby.

Stamps: Time Well Spent, Circle of Friendship Paper: Chocolate Chip, Kraft, Stella Ruby Inks: Timber Brown Staz On, Soft Sky, Barely Banana Extras: Sharpie Markers, Sponge 1/2", 1", 1-1/8" circle punches, dimensionals
