Charlie Brown's Spring Day

When in doubt for titles for your post, ask your husband (or wife, or significant other). I should clarify, ask your husband what he would nicely name your card. So Charlie Brown's Spring Day it is. (Perhaps you'll get a laugh like I did) I think possibly because of the solid bold colors and black lines? I suppose I shouldn't even begin to guess. Anywho, this card came together for the latest Everything but the Kitchen Sink's Sketch Challenge. I thought of a quaint little ground landscape, so I went with it. I even used more of the gigantic twig leftover from a previous post, after coloring it with a sharpie to stay consistent with the color scheme. The clouds were masked, stamped and embossed, then outlined to keep the design cohesive. I stretched my limits on this one--I used a ton of different textures and I don't think I've ever created such a card with this kind of style.
