Greetings! This week seems to be going by quickly. My kids are glad for that - they are still in school with these being the remaining days. Things have been tense with big final exams each day and I think we'll all be glad when summer break officially begins in a few days! So let's get focused on today which is the start of another
Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge! I've chosen to do a Father's Day card this week to show off the new sketch.
Here's the wonderful sketch this week - it's another smash hit from Arlana! This one has layers to create some depth but plenty of room to see your papers and add embellishments and a sentiment if you desire.
And we welcome back
Digi Stamp Boutique as our sponsor of the challenge this week. Sally Ann, the owner, is generously providing the Grand Prize winner with an amazing
6 free digi images as the prize! Now that's worth entering a card in this challenge for sure!
I've used "
Golf Alf", a wonderfully whimsical character from
Digi Stamp Boutique this week and a perfect image for my golfer husband on Father's Day. He was colored with Copics, including the background. I color the sky with a light blue and then go over it with the colorless blender to get the mottled effect. My embellishments are supposed to look like oversize golf balls (wouldn't that make it easier to golf with - LOL) and they were done with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and circle punch. The papers are from Basic Grey's "Marjolaine" collection.
The
Sweet Sketch Wednesday design team always does a great job with Digi Stamp Boutique images as inspiration for you so head on over there to see what they've created this week. We have a new designer joining the team - Patti Painter from
Patti's Paper Creations - and you're going to love seeing her creativity week after week on the
Sweet Sketch Wednesday team! Welcome Patti!
Thanks for stopping by today!
