I colored up the clown car with the penguin duo (I’m guessing they’re up to no good!) for my focal image. I added a few sparkly elements, then cut the car out and attached to it an oval panel with foam tape.To represent all of those different notch-edged pieces in the sketch, I turned to my ribbon scraps. I mixed and matched a bunch of colors and widths to coordinate with the fun dotted paper panel I used at the top of the card. Ribbon scraps are one of Chloe the cutie puppy’s most favorite things in the world to steal (and there are a lot of things she likes to steal—in just the last week, that sneaky puppy has snagged a flash drive, socks, and a new package of straws for my reusable cold cup. . .), so I consider it a victory that I only lost one piece to her as I was assembling this card! The pieces are secured to the back of the matted paper panel. After wrapping some black baker’s twine around the panel, I attached it to the card, then added the image panel over top. The “let’s take off” sentiment, borrowed from the Wheel Love set, is stamped on tiny pieces of aqua cardstock and attached to the dotted paper panel.
I hope you’ll give the sketch a try. Add your finished project up to the guest book on Alma’s blog to be entered to win this week’s Cat Cash prize. With a new release (yes, another TCP release!) coming up in January, you’re going to want to have a little spending money in your wallet . . .
