Diver Duck

Hi there friends! Today I'm showing the new sketch for the challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Isn't this duck just cutest thing! It's from Deedee's Digis - our sponsor of the challenge this week.

Our sketch this week is a blast from the past sketch originally appearing at Sweet Sketch Wednesday in November 2013.

Deedee's Digis is our sponsor of the challenge. Carrying wholesome digi stamps, you'll find a host of wonderful sets at their store.  The grand prize winner of the challenge will receive a $15 gift certificate to Deedee's Digis - a fantastic prize so join in the challenge to win!

This adorable duck is called Diver Daniel from Deedee Digis and comes in set with two duck images, several background images and sentiments. It's such a great value too. I started with using the pre-colored version of the duck but added some additional shading with Copic markers. I duplicated the bubbles to fill out the image panel.  The fish embellishments were created with several punches to mimic the fish in the background papers which are from Echo Park's Splash collection.

Seal-abration

Welcome friends! We're having a little "seal-abration" today with a new card showcasing these adorable seals from Digi Stamp Boutique. This is a new set just released and you can't help but fall in love with these cuties.

It's the Cute Seal set from Digi Stamp Boutique and you get these two seal images, a bunch of accessories that you can use with them as well as several sentiments.  For my card I combined the two seal images together and colored them with Copic markers. The papers are fitting for the card and are Happy Day from Simple Stories.

I chose this beautiful image called Tulip Beauty from Sami Stamps and brought her to life with Copic markers. The papers are from favorites from MME that I've had in my stash for some time. I think this sketch layout is wonderful for a cameo type image like this.

Chubby Duck

Welcome back friends! Here's a bright, fun summer card for you today to kick of the new challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Our sponsor this week is Digi Stamp Boutique and I'm showcasing one of the new July images offered there.

I love the sketch we have this week for you to follow. Lots of layers on this one with an interesting diamond as the background for the image panel. I think it turns out terrific. Nice job Sally!

This cute duck is enjoying his summer day. He's called Chubby and comes in a set with two images and several sentiments that go perfectly.  The papers are from American Crafts' Summer collection - I love the bright colored papers in this pad.

Milly Mouse

Today I'm showcasing a new release image from Digi Stamp Boutique called Milly Mouse. She looks so sweet doesn't she? I find it ironic that as I'm battling a real monster mouse in my house this little cutie is released!

Little Milly was colored with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils. The papers are from American Crafts. The new Milly Mouse character was released in a set with three different images and sentiments - it's a great value so check it out!

Flamenco Flamingo

Hi there! It's Wednesday and you know that means a new challenge begins today at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. This week we're featuring images from Fresh Brewed Designs.

Another fun sketch to follow from our own Sally. This one looks good as designed or rotated as I did for my inspiration card this week.

The talented Heather Dennis, owner and illustrator of Fresh Brewed Designs, is our sponsor of the challenge this week. We love creating with your images Heather! The grand prize winner of the challenge will receive three free digis from Fresh Brewed - a wonderful prize.

I chose Flamingo Flamenco Dancer from Fresh Brewed Designs for my card and colored it up with Copic markers.  The papers are digital from MyGraphico.com called DL Fantastic Flamingo - a perfect match to use with this FBD image.

Monkey Says Thanks!

Here's a bright, happy card showcasing one of the June release images from Digi Stamp Boutique. I just love this cheeky monkey character and this one is fun as he flies his thank you kite.

The image is called Thank You Monkey Kite from Digi Stamp Boutique and I placed him on digital paper and paper pieced his hat and top. The rest of him was colored with Copic markers. The digital papers are from Sheri K Designs.

Friends

Sending all my USA friends out there an early 4th of July greeting with this cute card in a variation of the old red, white and blue! This highlights the new sketch challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday with one of our favorite sponsors, Bugaboo Stamps.

Here's the sketch to follow for the challenge this week. I like layouts with room for a sentiment as this one has. It goes together nicely and I hope you'll have some crafting time this weekend to join us in the challenge.

Our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps with a fabulously generous prize of seven free digis to the winner of the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge.

The image I chose from Bugaboo is Cute Puppy - a fairly new digi stamp in the Bugaboo store. This frolicky little pup with his friend was colored with Copic markers and the papers from Colorbok and distributed by a local Ann Arbor, Michigan company through Walmart stores.

There are some darling card examples of the sketch by the design team this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Hop on over there for some inspiration!
