I Want Candy

Good morning!  I wanted to play along with the All That Scraps challenge which was to use the colors pink/red/brown, so I looked to find some challenges I could combine.  I found the Deconstructed Sketch and thought it was perfect for my image.  I'm using one of the Meoples from the "I Want Candy" set...I don't know, there is something about the Meoples that speaks to me...I love them!

The image is colored with pencils and the candy wrapper is paper pieced and sponged.  I've added a crystal to the bow in her hair.  The papers are distressed and I have added a felt flower and ribbon for embellishing.

TMS...Round Two!

Hi! Just a quickie post here.... I really loved this week's Tuesday Morning Sketches sketch, so when I saw the All That Scraps challenge to make a Valentine using one of the stamps they sell, I thought I would use this fun sketch again.

I choose an image from one of The Cat's Pajamas clearly swanky sets. This "lovestruck" little cutie is colored with pencils, markers, and highlighted with glitter. I choose to sponge the layers instead of mat them this time, and embellished the card with some sparkly Bella Dots. It went together quickly...my sponging is getting faster!
