TMS #477


We're back with another Tuesday Morning sketch challenge and this time we're working on sketch #477 designed by Melissa Craig. With Autumn in full swing, I decided to use a Sweet'n Sassy Cocoa's Pumpkin image and make a Thanksgiving card.


I used Copics to color Cocoa and die-cut both the image and orange mat with MFT stitched circle dies, then placed it on a white panel that was embossed with a Darice fall leaf ef. The strip of dsp is from SU!, while the sentiment is from SNSS and die-cut with a MFT fishtail flag frame die. The vines were cut with Precious Marieke dies and some snippets of green cardstock.

Be sure to visit the Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge blog for some inspiration to get you started with this sketch. Our DT always has such diversified uses for each weekly sketch and I love how we all go in different directions with our creations.

The prize up for grabs this week is this embossing folder by Darice:


Thanks for stopping by and do have yourself a great day whatever you do!

I always love when Cocoa mouse makes an appearance! How is it possible that it is time for another sketch? These weeks are just zooming. Anyway, I am all about the fall cards, and this is fantastic!

What a cute image of the mouse peeking around the pumpkin. You colored it beautifully and I like the leaves along the side of the circle. So pretty.

That cocoa mouse peeking out from the pumpkin is just delighful! Love so much this sketch, it's elegant and also very good for CAS cards, and your inspiration shows it so well! LOVE the gorgeous embossing that matches with the leaves branch and that dotty banner adds cuteness to your card!
Big hugs, today the sun shines but it seems that we will have another storm this night! :((

Yay... good to see Cocoa having a happy thanksgiving and he looks super cute poking out from behind the pumpkin. Love that sentiment strip in black, it just jumps out from the card. You did a brilliant job with the sketch Carol x

So very fun and an adorable image. Love this card.

Jenée said...

Wonderful card! You definitely knocked this one out of the park with the dry embossed background and the ADORABLE image. (I do love those Sweet N Sassy mouse images!) Everything is wonderful, but I especially like that you used the sketch and image for Thanksgiving -- it is our poor forgotten holiday.

Oh there's an oldie but a goodie! Just love this card and that vine die cut you used with it is perfect. Did you see Korin re released some of the Cocoa's in a new set??! Hopefully she makes some new ones now too?!!
