Quin's Birthday

Welcome to another Freshly Made Sketch Challenge!  This week, our hostess is the wonderful and talented Kim Singdahlsen.  Kim has a fabulous sketch for us.  Check it out:

All I saw when I first saw the sketch was clouds, so I decided to create a wee scene.  This card was made for my niece, Quin, who turned 9 last week.

I die-cut the clouds and hills and lightly sponged the edges.  I then adhered them to a white panel cut slightly narrower than a card base size.  Onto that, I adhered the sentiment, using my T-ruler as a guide to getting the individual letters straight.  The little girl and sheep were colored with Copics and adhered with foam tape.  Lastly, I created some shadows with grey Copics.

Thanks for visiting!  The design team have again come up with some wonderful inspiration for you, so be sure to check them out.

I'm entering this card in to the current Seize the Birthday challenge and, it might be a bit of a stretch, but I'm also linking to HLS March CASe the Designer.  I was inspired by Kim's beautiful outdoor scene and while I don't have separated panels, I have broken the card into thirds (clutching at straws much? LOL)
