TSG125 - I've got some dirty laundry....

to air!!  Well, not really........but that's what my card says!   I made this card following the There She Goes Sketch # 125.  I thought the layout would be perfect for my laundry set.


I really wanted to keep the laundry line on the base layer, so I ended up masking the inside and sponging around the edges to create a faux layer.  I paper pieced the undies with PTI paper and I was originally going to color in the laundry basket, but then I wondered where I'd put the sentiment - so instead, I used my smoke grey ink to stamp the basket and then stamped the sentiment over it in black. I love the result!!!

Here's the sketch - you still have until Monday the 17th to play along!!!




Thanks for your visit!

How ca-ute this is! Absolutely brilliant take on that sketch. The laundry line just makes me smile. Love the masking you did to create layers. It's subtle, but eye catching. And I love how you did the sentiment. Fabulous!

You really nailed that sketch, this is so adorable :) Love how you masked the and sponged the outside and the laundry basket with the sentiment, all perfect. Have a great weekend.
