Hang In There

Mornin' y'all!  We did get snow yesterday and last night, but it's a fairly thin layer on the ground and the temperatures are supposed to start climbing back up a bit tomorrow.  Ryan is supposed to do an Easter egg hunt thing today so if it's plastic eggs (and with the price of actual eggs, I'm sure they are) then the snow should make them even easier to spot.  I think I'll make some tea in a travel mug...

Anyway, I was a busy little crafty bee yesterday and here's one of the things that I made:


This little dude is hanging out in the Inspiration Squad stamp set along with the dragon and another cutie that you'll meet tomorrow.  For today's card, I rotated this week's Freshly Made Sketch 90 degrees:


I should have made that Early Espresso scrap be angled too but...I didn't.  I paired the sketch with the most recent Festive Friday challenge:


I used earth colors, an animal, and plants because I picked the Garden Green DSP that has leaves and flowers on it.  I stamped the lemur in Early Espresso ink, colored with Blends, and since we don't have a Garden Green Blend pair (what gives, SU?), I used a watercolor pencil for the background.  A few Earth Tone Shimmer Gems and I'm done.

Okay, Daph is poking her nose at me most insistently so I'm going to go play with her.  Cheers!

Christy, I love that you've turned Judy's Sketch to suit your design - and that darling 'little dude'! Your DSPs and colors are so perfectly natural for him, too!
Thanks so much for sharing him with us at Freshly Made Sketches! I hope we'll see you again soon!
