SKETCHES by Tamara

I have something a little different for my DT card for Tamara's sketch this week..........a card for a boy!
My little boy is now 25!!! so i think this card will be sent to my great nephew Jamie for his Birthday. We have lots of girls in our family, so it makes a change to make a card for a boy..........this Dinosaur set of stamps is fabulous for boy cards.

This image is from a fabulous set of acrylic stamps by My Favourite Things. I managed to snag this set at half price in the sale.........i can't resist a sale :)
I seem to have a thing going on at the moment with paper piecing!! and just had to paper piece this little guy!
The papers are Basic Grey from the 'Archaic' 6 x 6 pad. No embellishments on this one other than some 'boulders' which i've cut from one of the papers, and some inking with a Colorbox chalk cats eye. The sentiments are included in the set, although for the lower one i only inked half of it because that's all i wanted for this particular card.

I would love to see your take on the sketch this week.........hope you can find time to play along with us....................I appreciate you taking the time to visit me today........hope to see you soon ;-D
