Tuesday Morning Sketches #76

Good morning! How about a fun sketch from Melissa over at Tuesday Morning Sketches to get your day off to a good start? Our sponsor this week is Some Odd Girl...love their stamps! They are just so darn cute, I had a hard time picking an image....this one is called "Cold Kaylee".

I printed my image, colored it, cut it out, adhered it to the DP panel, then added some glitter. Kaylee's eyes just sparkle and I thought she needed a good dose of glitter to match! This layout was a challenge for me; I was about done with my card, but then scrapped it and started over. I was able to use 3 different DPs that I have been hoarding...I love this paper! (Sadly, I am getting down to scraps now.) The card is embellished simply with Bella Dots and a glittery snowflake.

It's Tuesday Morning Sketches Time!

Good Tuesday morning! We have another fun sketch from Melissa today; check it out here. We also have a fun sponsor as well, Some Odd Girl, which is a digi stamp company. I fell in love with the images; they are whimsical and have the cutest facial expressions! I choose "Happy Angel Kaylee"; she was fun to color, too! I have a tween daughter, so I will probably get more of these darling images....

Paper: G.P. 110, SU! Soft Suede, PTI Stamper's Select, Love Elsie DP

When I was planning the card, I thought Kaylee would be easy to cut out.... Wrong! It took some time to cut out the little tiny areas like by her knees and arms. I used my Cutterbee scissors and also my SU! Hobby Blade. After cutting I took my black marker and went over the edges to add definition. This is an easy trick that really works. Next time I will take before and after pictures to show the difference.

The sketch has 3 small circles on the lower right corner. I wanted to add some more sparkle, but didn't have any sparkly brads. I have coated brads in glitter before, which is pretty messy. I have found it is easier to punch small circles, add them to the card and then add glitter. I stacked the circles 2 high to add a bit of dimension.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you head on over to the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog to take a peek at what the DT has come up with. I can't wait to see! Also, we would love to have you play along using Melissa's sketch.

Have a great day!
