It's Weekend Sketch Challenge time again and it's number 99! I always love the challenge of using a sketch -- it makes me think outside my box and try something new & different! We hope you'll play along with us today, too! Here's what I have to share.
KIS was my motto for this card ... no, not as in kiss a frog, but Keep It Simple! So I grabbed one of my Taylored Expressions' Key Ingredients Kits (The Places You'll Go) and I had everything at my fingertips that was already color coordinated for me!
This sweet princely frog cuppie from Taylored Expressions' Trick or Sweet II set does double duty and isn't just for Halloween. I thought this card might be good to serve as an encouragement for a young boy, or without the sentiment, I think it would make a cute baby card! There are some other very sweet images in this set that I'll be using to make little notecards to tuck into my girls' backpacks!
I stamped froggy with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Taylored Expressions Choice Buttercream cardstock and colored him with these Copic markers:
His little bow tie is accented with a Tiny Twinkle gemstone. The sentiment was stamped onto solid patterned cardstock from the Kit and die cut. Other than that, a little machine zig-zag stitching and some brads from my stash finish it off, Keeping It Simple! I made the card 3.75" wide (and 5.50" tall), so the focal image could extend off the right side of the card 1/2-inch and still fit into a regular A2-sized envelope.
You can see samples today of this sketch made by these awesome women: Beate, Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn, Lori and Mary Jo. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
