BC110 Sketch - Jailbirds

Hello and Happy Friday!

We've come to the end of another week and another month (where has this year gone?) and once again it's time for the Blogger Challenge.  This week was a (Sketch) challenge.  I always enjoy sketches because they give you a starting point and that makes things one step easier for me when I create.

For this card I started out picking out the DP and stamp sets I wanted to use.  I had found this cool piece of DP (Nevermore - Cosmo Cricket) at our LSS and decided to pair it up with the Jailbirds stamp for the Inkadinkado set, (Ghouls and Goblins) that I bought last year around Halloween and never used.  I colored my jailbirds with various shades of Prisma Color Pencils and added sparkle to their eyes with Spica Glitter Pens.  I wanted a sort of "shabby" look to my card so I distressed the edges of some of the panels/
My card base is: Basic Black layered with Tangerine Tango and then Naturals Ivory cs that I embossed with the Spider Web Cuttlebug embossing folder after I computer generated the (Spooky) sentiment.  I also brayed on some Sahara Sand ink.
I layered my birds onto Pumpkin Pie cs and distressed the edges with a sponge and some Bravo Burgundy ink.  Then I added 3 Vintage brads and tied some Pumpkin Grosgrain ribbon around my panel to complete the card. 
Stop by the other members blogs (Click on the icon on my sidebar) and see what they have done with this sketch and why not give it a try yourself.
