Thank You {MFTWSC69}

It's time to get sketchy with the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club and sketch 69.

I'm pretty sure I say this every week, but what an amazing sketch with so many possibilities!!!

Teasers flew by last month and I didn't have a chance to ink up the new à la modes An Apple For Teacher so I used her for this sketch and I think she looks awesome!!! I used the space below the center panel for a sentiment then stitched a frame to help draw attention to it.

She's stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with copic markers. When I was looking for patterned papers to use with her I knew I wanted to paper piece the apple, so when I saw the red polka dot paper in the My Mind's Eye Dilly Dally collection, I knew it was the one. I cut out all around her then used the vertical greetings Die-namics die to cut out the woodgrain paper.

I keep reaching for the pretty posies Die-namics die lately whenever I need a flower and today is no exception. I cut out both polka dot paper and wild cherry card stock so I could alternate the layers.  The center was cut from hot fudge card stock and I added a baja breeze corduroy brad for a little pop of colour.

On the inside I repeated the layout on the front, stamping her with baja breeze ink, then the sentiment in black. I had some flowers left over from creating the one on the front of the card so I added the smallest polka flower on the inside and for the blue center I simply punched a 1/4" circle from berrylicious card stock so it doesn't add a ton of bulk on the inside.

Here are all the sketchy details:
