TMS 551 - Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hi, everyone!  We have a new sketch to inspire you this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This is a fun sketch so I made a fun card!  I hope it brightens your day!


This image is Beccy's Place Poultry in Motion, and it makes me giggle.  Who hasn't felt like this in the morning?  I went with the precoloured image and fussy-cut so I could pop it up on foam tape.  I stamped a sentiment from Newton's Nook Caffeinated Cats on a white scrap, adhered the chicken, and doodled faux stitching around the rectangle.  I die-cut a bunch of stitched fishtail banners from my scraps and adhered them behind the rectangle. I added a die-cut tab with a punched heart on a stitched coffee bean-embossed background (Elizabeth Crafts).

For the Snippets challenge, here are the scraps I used to die-cut my fishtail banners.  Happily I was finally able to use and discard some of these snippets!


Here's our Sketch 551, designed by Debbie. You will notice I rotated the sketch counter-clockwise for my card.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you make!

I love this card Kitty, what an awesome way to make use of your scraps! The banners behind the image panel look fabulous, you did a great job selecting the colours. I love the addition of the hand-drawn border, it ties everything together perfectly. Well done!
Cheers,
Beccy

Since I can't seem to keep the days of the week straight, I think I feel like this every morning. It's different having hubby work from home. In my mind it's either Saturday or Sunday - he's home in the morning after all :-) It's such a fun and cheerful card with the happy colours you used. Love it, my friend! I also wanted to thank you for leaving sweet comments on my blog. I’m slowly trying to catch up and thoroughly enjoyed browsing through your lovely projects. Stay safe and healthy!
Hugs,
