Hello and welcome!
I have a card today that was inspired by the sketch challenge over at Inky Paws Challenge #165 :
Normally I avoid sketch challenges because I am really not good at them. It takes me forever to come up with a design when I have to follow a sketch so I rarely participate! But I challenged myself to go for it and here's what I came up with.

I used two new to me stamp sets from a recent release:
1) Snow Angel Newton and
2) Snow Angel Puppy
To make my card I took a scalloped edge that I had and used it to ink the inside of an A2 card base with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Next I took a black sharpie and drew over the scalloped edge to define it more. I stamped, clear heat embossed, cut and colored both images with alcohol markers and colored pencils. Next I cut a banner from some black and white patterned paper in my stash, cut them short and then added them on top of the right and left side of the card. Next I added both the puppy and Newton to the card front. The sentiment was heat embossed in white on black card stock. Next, I added some snowflake sequins from my stash and put silver Nuvo drops in their centers. Lastly I rounded all four 4 corners and my card was complete!
Here's one last look:

Super-cute!
ReplyDeletethis is great Angie. I have to chuckle when you say you are not good at something. To me everything you make is wonderful and I admire the talent so much. This sketch is a fun one and you have met the challenge beautifully. Love it all.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you joined us at Inky Paws! Your pair of snow-lovin' critters work wonderfully on this sketch, and your shading is fabulous!

I am totally with you - I don't generally gravitate to sketch challenges, but they definitely get me out of my creative comfort zone! I love the snow angel Newton and pup paired together. It makes the perfect snowy scene! Thanks for joining the Inky Paws Challenge!
ReplyDeleteAwww, this is adorable! Love those sweet animals playing in the snow.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good idea! Great use of the challenge sketch. Thanks for linking to the Inky Paw's Challenge.
