If you check out my post from last night ... you'll see that I have had some fun playing along with the sketch challenges at Let's Get Sketchy! over the past month.
Their first official challenge was posted yesterday and I had no problem spending an hour in front of the TV last night playing around with some fun My Mind's Eye Abbey Road paper.
I titled it "When Eileen Roamed The Earth" ... a little jab at myself, as the photo is over 10 years old ... and I will admit that reminiscing about that hiking trip did make me feel old for a bit ...then I got over it :)
I created my own leaves/foliage by free-handing some leaves and inking them. I wouldn't usually think to use dinosaurs to embellish a layout of myself ... but I think this paper and the dinosaur cut-outs worked perfectly with my photo! The EARTH is made from Tim Holtz grunge blocks ... which I inked to get the green and brown colouring... I thought it added a nice "earthy" effect.
Thanks for checking in! I'll be back tomorrow with some more creations!
