Merry & Bright Sketch

Yup, you guessed it. It's Wednesday and Splitcoast has a new sketch out! And of course I had to participate in it. I can't express enough how important it is to learn new sketches. To learn anything new!! Especially when it comes to stamping. I subscribe to a lot of blogs and surf the Internet ever on a quest to learn new things. Sometimes, many times I just get inspired but that's ok too! I'm having fun and am enjoying it and that's the main thing. I can't emphasize that enough, "keep it fun!"


Well, here's my card. And here's the sketch from Splitcoast. You aren't given measurements but the printout is proportionate to the card. You can print out several and cut or you can measure as you go. I usually just print out one and measure if I need to. I did find the final blue top layer pieces the most difficult. I just couldn't get it cut right. I embossed in white and then cut and cut to short every time. I should have just left it and walked away for a bit but I was bound and determined to finish it early today!!! Well, I did stick with it and the 5th try I got it! Color me Happy!!! LOL


The snowman was done on watercolor paper and colored in with a blender pen using the new in colors. I added some white brads and put it all together.


Thank you for stopping by,
Wanda
