Thursday means--Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Its a Sketch!!!

Iulia, is the ubber talented hostess this week for the Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge and she has  chosen a sketch challenge. It is a wonderful one too.   Here is my card using G-faa:

I love animals, and I love when animals are as beautifully drawn as Mo has drawn this darling little giraffe.   When one of my daughter's and her family  came up a few weeks ago, we went to the zoo here in Omaha.  We are so fortunate to have one of the best Zoo's in the country right here, and we try to go often.

The sketch was so fun to follow and I tried, tried being the optimum word, to follow the sketch as closely as possible with the layout.  The card is really large because I wanted all the details to show.  I wanted to use lots of textures and visually for the card to look and feel  natural.  I thought the colors were kind of jungle colors....

Instead of a swirl I let the ribbon cascade down, and because I thought the card had a masculine feel I used a SU  rounded tab punch flat behind the circle punch for a different sentiment circle look. Haven't used that one for a while, always liked that for a guy card. Here is the sketch:

Be sure to stop by the Challenge blog and see what the DT has created for you to see now that they all have their power back on and are no longer trying to color by flashlight or candle light during the aweful hurricane they endured on the East Coast week. We are so thankful none of our DT members were injured  or their homes destroyed in the hurricane, but many of them were without power or even had to evacuate as they were directly affected by the storm.  Leave them a little extra love they have definitely earned it.


Mo is still on a roll with new images so be sure to check out the new pumpkins I just saw which would be so perfect for all those fall cards.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderfully creative day!!!
