I Miss You. That Is All–SSSC #271

SSSC271_2015may31


Hey, everyone! Welcome to a brand new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Karen has another fun sketch for us this week and I hope to see lots of you playing along!


SSSC271

I’m using another image from the soon-to-be-released BB Penguins in Paradise set from MFT. I just love these little guys, don’t you? I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base. The horizontal element is Steel Gray card stock with white embossing paste applied through MPD Scallops Stencil. Next is a piece of pattered paper I found in my scrap drawer stamped with Plaid Builder Background and the following inks: Orange Fizz dye ink, Black Licorice dye ink, Berrylicious dye ink, Razzle Berry dye ink, Sour Apple dye ink, then cut with Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics and popped up on foam. The sentiment was stamped a the bottom with Black Licorice dye ink. The focal point began as a Zig Zag Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics cut from Neenah Classic Crest Cover, Solar White Smooth, 110lb. I stamped the image from the set with Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored it with Copic markers, including the scene. Notice my little guy is sunning himself in either the morning or late afternoon for safety ;-) OK, so I’m not an artist but I think its kinda cute. I popped it up on foam, added a few enamel dots, and it was done!

Another sentiment from the set was stamped on the inside.

Awwww, what a sweetie this little PI is!! I started my card with a Sweet tooth card stock base. Then, on a piece of Ranger watercolor paper, I stamped Lace Background with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder then did a water color wash with Red Hot dye ink. I popped that up on foam mounting tape and then popped up another piece of Sweet Tooth card stock cut with Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I cut the PI from Neenah Classic Crest Cover, Solar White Smooth, 110lb, stamped the image with Black Licorice hybrid ink, colored with Copic markers, and popped it up, as well. I also added a couple of coats of Wink of Stella Brush – Clear to the tutu for a little shimmer.

The sentiment was stamped with Black Licorice hybrid ink on a die cut from Blueprints 25 Die-namics and popped it up, then added a few hearts cut from Fluttering Hearts Die-namics and Tag Builder Blueprints 3 Die-namics, cut from Red Hot card stock and a few enamel dots.

Another sentiment from the set was stamped on the inside.
