Let's Bury Your Troubles


This is what I came up with for the fun Sketch Girl challenge.  I really wanted to work with some of my new favourite Cosmo Cricket paper.  Isn't Garden Variety so yummy?  I was really inspired by one of the their lines in the border paper saying something like "Diggin' in the dirt helps bury your troubles."  I decided to make an encouragement card based on this line. The cheerful bright paper was perfect for it!


I tried a number of techniques with this card and really took my time with it as I watched Valentine's Day.  I really like how it turned out and I really enjoyed the movie.  Usually when you get that many great celebrities together for a project they really don't put enough effort into the plot....but for this one the writing was fantastic and it all tied together so wonderfully. 

Anyhow, I hope to be back tomorrow with the card I made for the latest Everything but the Kitchen Sink sketch challenge which I was late in posting so it didn't make the time cut.  I really liked the sketch and I really liked how mine turned out too so I'm still going to share.
