Dig ~ Frosted Designs Sketch


Here is my take on this week's Sketch Along Tuesday over at Frosted Designs.

I used Dinosaur Tracks for the first time!!  I made a banner for the title.  I cut the letter tiles at 1.08 inches tall and strung them together with bakers twine.

I cut out the fossils of a three dinosaurs and inked the edges.

I welded the digging tools together using the tag feature at 1" tall.  I used my Xyron to stick the mesh down, then I added staples for the texture.

I used some strips of paper from my Tim Holtz stack for the background and the journaling.
I inked around the edge of the paper to dirty it up a bit.  This photo was taken in Disney at the Animal Kingdom.  Tanner got a little confused and was digging for dinosaur bones with his belly!
