Happy November Monday!
Monday means another great
This week, we have a fabulously fun sketch created by Lori Boyd, one of the co-creators of The Pink Elephant, for you to try:
Here's my interpretation for some inspiration:
SPIES:
STAMPS: Sentiment (StampinUP!); Image (Stampers Anonymous).
PAPER: Red cardstock; Buttercream cardstock; DP-Two Christmases In One (Authentique).
INK: Jet Black (Staz On). Copics - Lipstick Red, Pale Olive and Yellow Green.
EXTRAS: Label Die (Taylored Expressions); Holly leaf die (Taylored Expressions); Frosted Lace Stickles; Diamond Stickles; Red/white Baker's twine; Arrow ribbon (American Crafts); Lime green button; Red cloth vintage button; Candy cane button; lime green gem dots.
Oddly enough I've gotten a "tad" into the Christmas spirit, which is rare this time of year. Usually, I hardly think about Christmas until the week of our (U.S.) Thanksgiving!
So, I chose one of my all time favorite stamps, it's a set of four from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous. I love, love, love these stamps!
I've also been stocking up on other Christmas stamps and supplies (probably the reason for my early spiritedness) and found this wonderful pattern paper set that went perfect with the stamp image.
I flipped the sketch a bit so that I could include the oval Santa image on the pattern paper since I colored my stamped image to go with the red and green images on the paper.
I first stamped the image in black and then used Copics to color in some of the hat, holly wreath and the background. Then, I added some Frosted Lace stickles on the pine branch and Diamond stickles on the wreath.
I hope this helps get you "sketching"
with us this week!
