Darling Dinos for AYSI 338

Welcome to the last challenge of the year at As You See It. Thank you to everyone who has played along with us this year. It's always a pleasure to see how you all see the challenges. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with friends and family. 

Now, on with the challenge. It's a sketch: my favourite!

My demonstrator pre-order for the January Mini Catalogue arrived recently, so I've had a play with one of the new bundles: Darling Dinos. As a long time lover of dinosaurs, and having a grandchild who is just beginning her obsession, this set was a must have!

I started by stamping one of the three dinosaurs and then colouring her in. I restrained myself as I could have added in glasses, a hair bow and various hats but instead opted to give her a trio of balloons. And some outrageous horns. She's coloured with Stampin' Blends in Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo and Crumb Cake. The balloons are in Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight. 

I sponged the square, cut with Stylish Shapes, with some Granny Apple Green ink then stamped over some grass. Again, I showed restraint as I could have added trees, rocks and dinosaur footprints as well!

The banners are cut with Stylish Shapes. The sentiment is stamped in Shaded Spruce. The rainbow is cut from a scrap of paper from the Full of Life DSP stack.

The card base is Granny Apple Green and the card front embossed with the cross-hatch folder from the  Basics embossing folder set.

Darling Dinos - and many more goodies - will be available in the New Year. Sale-abration begins at the same time.
