bright and early this morning - okay maybe not bright as the sun was not yet up, but definitely early, I found myself heading into the craft room at 6am to FINALLY get around to working on some cards for my nephew and nieces. I usually make end of school year cards for them but this year my colouring mojo just wasn't into it. So, the images that I STARTED colouring back in July are now being finished in September as back to school cards.
Last night, Jen Del Muro previewed the September SFYTT for her Facebook followers so I knew exactly which sketch I wanted to use for this card for my nephew.
Here's the sketch:
and here's the card:
