Hello Otter! FMS 524

 



Way too cold for swimming around here but that cute little otter doesn't seem to mind!  I think the cold weather here gave me a brain freeze that affected my design! When I first looked at the sketch  I thought the bottom right element was supposed to be the sentiment. It never even dawned on me until I started to build this post that I may have misinterpreted that!   But we are an easy going bunch at Freshly Made Sketches so feel free to interpret the sketch as you see fit!






Cecile's sketch is delightful - and I hope she forgives me for putting the sentiment in the "wrong" spot!  Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!




The Paper Players are having a CAS wildlife challenge this week!

This cute otter totally stole my heart, Linda. When it comes to creativity there's no "wrong" spot, never. This dimensional "Hello" perfectly fit the sketch and I love how uo used these tiny flying off birds for the upper left element. It's brilliant!

I think the bottom right element looks perfect as a sentiment. And the flock of birds is genius as the top left part!
