365 Cards Day 148: Thankful Penelope

OMG... I know! Another post... the mind reels. But like I said earlier, I've been a slacker & I'm trying to make up a little :)

This is for 365 Cards' Day 148: Super Sketchy Sunday! The moment I saw this sketch I wanted to use it... it looked so fun! Then, once I actually started, it was really difficult :) I am happy to report, that I actually like how this one turned out!

I'll wait for you to pick yourself up off the floor... I know it was a shocker...

Hi! Now for the deets on this bad boy:

Stamps: Sweet Goodies, Thinking of You (new Hostess Level C!)

Paper: Penelope SWIC, basic olive cardstock, & Mulberry Meadow cardstock (retired)

Ink: Burnt Umber Palette

Other: circle punches, uber-cool orange trim from JoAnn's (frugal find!), foam tape, Coluzzle circle cutting system


The striped circle is actually one of the die-cut tags from the Penelope collection... I hid the tag hole under the olive circle... genius me thinks :) And the little paisleys? They are the cut-off strips from the Penelope sheets... yep, just one more scrap of paper to save from the trash can :)

What do you think?!
