Same sketch, with a twist...

Good morning, everyone, hope you have had a good start to the week!  I can't believe that it's March 1st this week (St David's Day) and still no sign of daffodils!  Spring can't come quick enough for me and then I spend the rest of the year tryng to slow it down before Winter creeps back round again.  I hope we get some semblance of a Summer this year, after 2012's washout!  I'm not asking for too much, a whole week even would be nice!?!  Our weather is so unpredictable, that you can't plan any outdoor event - BBQ, fete, picnic - which is probably why us Brits are so obsessed with it!
Anyhow, rant over...the card I have to share today is using the same sketch as the Laughing Horse card in my previous post, just turned 90 degrees, hence the post title!  I have to say, I never really did much with sketches before, but have found them a Godsend since my lack of Mojo and am now really 'into' using them...

...I chose my papers first again (wow, look at me!?), First Edition Summer Breeze and Animal Antics, then coloured up my Gardener's Delight digistamp...

...I coloured using my Promarkers, then printed the image again onto First Edition Animal Antics paper and paper pieced the wellington boots.  Here's the colours if you are a Promarker fan :

Boots shading - Light Fawn FM, Sandstone

Compost bag - Meadow, Leaf, Grass and Forest Greens, Amaranth red FM

Watering can - Cool Greys 1-5, Vanilla, Mustard, Sandstone

Plantpots - Light Fawn FM, Soft Peach, Honeycomb, Spice

Plant - Amethyst, Purple, Prussian, Gold, Pear & Olive Green

Soil - Umber, Black FM (the black Flexmarker is so much easier to use than the traditional pens)

I kept the sentiment generic and embellished with pearls and 2 doohickey dragonflies that I converted to butterflies by chopping their tails off and making their heads smaller (cruel, I know!!).  I would like to enter this card into the Joanna Sheen Challenge this week which is Layer it Up.

Thanks for dropping by to see me and I'll be back soon with some more crafty creations...Lisa x
