Paper Pursuits: Have a Cool Day

Hi, all, and welcome to this week’s Crazy 4 Challenges! It’s sketch challenge week and I really love this sketch!

I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then added a Sweet Tooth card stock panel on which I stenciled some Wild Cherry dye ink through Small Chevron Stripes stencil. I didn’t know if it would do OK on regular card stock or not but I tried to keep my water brush on the dry side and it did great! I love the free-hand look I get with this technique. Next, I stamped LJD Nordic Knits on Sweet Tooth card stock with Berrylicious dye ink and cut it out with Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics and adhered it. I stamped up another image from LJD Nordic Knits using Grout Gray dye ink and also cut that out with Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics and popped it up on foam. I cut the smaller polar bear from BB Cool Day from X-Press It Blending Card and stamped the coordinating image from BB Cool Day with Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored it with Copic markers. I popped that up, as well on the circle. I did the same with the mittens image, only I heat embossed a tiny snowflake on each mitten and placed a Copic-colored gem in the center.

Another sentiment from BB Cool Day was stamped on the inside.

And that's it! Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for you, including our November Guest Designer, Tanya Adams!
