Hello! Today's project is an entry for the Sketch Challenge, SC257, over on Splitcoaststampers. I found this challenge a little challenging, because the dimensions of the whisper white piece determine the size of the stamp used. I have a couple of Christmas stamps that would work well, but I've used them a bunch in previous challenges, so I decided to "branch out" and use a non-holiday stamp set! Ha! Here is the sketch:
The gorgeous tree is from the Thoughts And Prayers stamp set, which was inked with Chocolate Chip and Old Olive Stampin' Write markers. When you color directly on markers, you should "huff" on the stamp before pressing to the paper, so that it remoistens the ink. The DSP is from the Tall Tales paper pack, and the Old Olive mat was given a dry embossed treatment with a Texturz Plate and the Big Shot. The sentiment is part of a bigger block of text, so I colored the words that I wanted to stamp with my marker, stamped it, then punched it out with the large oval punch. The scalloped oval punch gives it a nice border. The Old Olive brads are from the Earth Elements Brads. Once again, I planned to add some green glitter to the leaves, but got so eager to take the photo and upload it to Splitcoast, that I forgot. I've since added it, and it is gorgeous!
