Retro Sketches #22

The banana totally sold me on this Fruitastic set from Paper Smooches. See what I mean?


I used this week's Retro Sketches sketch:


The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye, the ribbon is from PTI, the corduroy button is from SU. The double ended banner die is PTI, and the twine is from the Twinery. I used the masking technique to create a bunch of bananas instead of just one.


I used the PS Alphadot set to create my own sentiment: "go bananas." The other sentiment is from Party Posse. I placed it on my block and curved it to fit the way I wanted on my card. I was working on my Copic shading, can you tell?


The border punch on the side is from Fiskars.


I had a blast looking through all the 12 Kits of Christmas cards yesterday, if you haven't had a chance to look, you should make some time, SO much inspiration!
