I {heart} Sketches with a tWist #159

From the Heart Stamps

hosts a fun bi-weekly

challenge which includes

a sketch and fun twist.

My card this week features

the adorable new digital

Spectacular Birdbrain

 The digital image was printed onto

Stampin' Up! Whisper White

card stock and colored with Copic markers.

Shading was applied with charcoal pencil.

The background was sponged with Memento inks

and a few gems were sprinkled in for fun.

Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!

Spotlighting

My card features a newer image from FTHS

Birthday Pup

It's been a long time since I have tried the spotlighting

technique.  But the effect is really fun.

As always, thanks for stopping by for a closer look!

i {heart} card sketches with a tWist #116 - Make a Circle Shaped Card

This week's From the Heart sketch challenge 

is a really fun one and the twist is 

to create a circle shaped card.

I tried to combine both on my

card this week which features

the adorable FTHS set

Inner Tube Birdbrain

  I had a lot of fun putting together this shaped card.

I used a template to create the sun shaped card.

The wave die is from The Cat's Pajamas and the digital image

was colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut and

adhered with foam tape. 

I added yellow Stickles to the sun rays for

extra dimension.

Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!

From The Heart - Stamp of the Month Challenge

A few month's ago I stumbled upon the 

fun progressive 

Stamp of the Month challenge at

From The Heart Stamps.

So, each month you create something with

the Stamp of the Month.

You can either purchase it or use

the coupon code to get the image

free with purchase.

The fun part?

Once you start using the SOM,

you get the next month's stamp set FREE.

Faith is doing a little snow in July theme

and this sweet snowman is the August

stamp of the month.

Candy Cane for Snowman

I went with a very clean and simple design.

The image was flipped horizontally to

fit the design of the card.  I colored the image

with Copic Markers, added some winter 

designer paper from Echo Park, and a 

twine bow.
