Freshly Made Sketches #727

The minute I saw Michele's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches an idea sparked.  Then I thought maybe the image was too big.  I made the card anyway.  What do you think?


I got the Honey Bee Lovely Layers Wishing Well because I'm attracted to old, rusty metal and wood things and this well appealed to me.  I made it right away and then it sat in the package until I pulled it out for this card. The background was colored with Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron.  The dark gray frame is from Waffle Flower and the grass is from Gina Marie.  I tried to match the green ink to the cardstock.  I had a difficult time coming up with a sentiment and was going to go without when I ran across this one from PTI.  I would have done the grass differently if I had the sentiment before I added it but I stamped it on the same paper and trimmed it down. I think it works.  

This is going to be a busy weekend.  Both my son and granddaughter have birthdays tomorrow. We will celebrate Allyson on Sunday before going to the middle school play where my great grandson has the second lead in High School Musical Jr. His sister also has a dance competition on Saturday but I won't be going since I've already seen the dances.  Allyson's brother and his family will be joining us as well as her other grandma who came down from Michigan for the occasion.  Like I said - It's going to be a busy weekend but so much fun.  

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

WELL, I was WISHing that we would see you in our gallery this week, Bobby - looks like you brought it to fruition in a very fun way! What a fabulous die set - leave it to HoneyBee, right? I love how you've brought the wood and stone to life with ink and your sentiment works perfectly, too. Thanks so much for playing with my sketch, Bobby!
Have a fun weekend!
