Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 This week it's Monochromatic and our Sponsor is Heather Ellis

Good morning and welcome to another wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

Congratulations to our winner and to our Top 3 cards awesome work ladies and it's lovely to see all those entries.

Well this week is our week with a TWIST and I was so excited to be able to make a Monochromatic card (to tell you the truth I've never made one before).  But when push came to shove I was so worried how it would turn out.  I knew exactly what sketch I was going to be using for the image I had chosen.  But my problem was the colour and where do I start.  So in the end I thought if I go pink, or blue, the grass is going to look funny so that is why I started from the bottom and progressed upwards.  That's why I chose GREEN.

This week I worked with Sketch #005 I loved working with it the first time and it was a very popular sketch.

Sketch #005

I was happy with the way my card turned out but feel that it's missing so blue sky, I tried inking another image I printed off and put a green sky in well it really didn't look right.  It would be like eating a blue tomato.
