A Sketch Challenge

Yikes! This month's i {heart} papers challenge is a sketch. Now usually I LOVE sketches but this one gave me some trouble! After a few hours of fiddling with it, I think I am happy with the end result. First I stamped "Merry Christmas" using my Just Rite 2" round stamper and the small letter set and cut it out using my nestabilities. Then I stamped the poinsettia from Hodge Podge of Happiness by Unity 3 times, colored in each of the images with my Copics and then layered them with pop dots. The DP is by Memory Box and called Spiceberry. I didn't like the plain black panel- it looked a little naked- so I stamped the worn music background in Versamark ink and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. (much better) I added some black rhinestones to the center of my pointsettia and some faux stitching to my triangles and called it good! Check out what my fellow design team members created with the sketch too.
