Got so distracted I almost forgot the deadline to finish this card was tonight... the Bugaboo Stamps challenge blog Catch the Bug has started a new biweekly challenge: Stella's Sunday Sketch Challenge. I used the sketch, a Bugaboo digi and a computer-created sentiment to create another kid's Valentine's Day card!
This was fun as I am starting to get the hang of modifying sketches with size and shape to personalize them. When I first started entering challenges, I didn't realize that I didn't have to stick to the exact measurements and shapes of the sketches. Now, as you see, I am starting to explore changes in shapes, subtle shifts and size changes to suit my supplies and my creative muse of the moment. =)
My image was colored with Copics. The papers are an old Provocraft slab, Celebrations and there's a bit of red vellum I got from the Paper Temptress. The ribbon is a WalMart purchase from last February's clearance rack. I used my new Heart Squares Nesties again - this time using the smaller size as well and my Martha Stewart heart border punch that I haven't used in ages got dusted off. I buffed over the Nesties with Spun Sugar and Barn Door Distress Inks and added a bit of bling here and there with some G Studio crystals. I used foam dots to layer up the image, hearts and the sentiment for some dimension.
Just a few challenges for this one:Stella's Sunday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 101
Send a Smile 4 Kids - Valentines for Kids
Digital Tuesday Challenge - #142 Punch It Out
So I'm off to post this to a few challenges, and then to wash my inky fingers and put on my PJs. Back soon with more fun!
Happy Crafting!
