Tuesday Morning Sketches 172

Hi!  It is time for another great sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Our sponsor this week is...


This week is also a bonus challenge week and since our sponsor is all about making your own animals, that is our challenge to you.  For this week you have to make an animal using punches, die-cuts, or with a tear bear pattern.  Here is the sketch:


For my card, I used the My Favorite Things set called Contempo Cage.  The set comes with stamps and dies to create the cage and the little birdie.  The paper is all from My Mind's Eye's Lost and Found paper pack in Portobello Road.  I never know what to to with paper that has little pictures on the sides of the paper.  Usually I end up just using the pattern on the back, but this time I cut the paper to make the element in the side of the sketch.  As I am sitting here writing this post, I realized that I forgot to put the element on the other side.  Oh well, maybe I will add a flower later, but it is too late to fix it now.


Have a great day week!  Be sure to play along with us!

This is so elegant, Dawn. I love that birdcage die, and the "chick" inside is too cute.
