NOW FOR OUR WEEK #18
SKETCH CHALLENGE
The above is week #18 sketch MMSC18
Each of the Dt members used an image from DRS Designs for their creation. I used the gorgeous Pumpkin Bouquet for today's kick off to fall. The buses are now running and the kids are off to school (not mine cause they are homeschooled and started a few weeks ago already).
This pumpkin bouquet is just the perfect fall image!! I colored it with prisma color pencils and gamsol and then embossed and glittered it. It is a lot more sparkly in Real life than it is in this picture. The image is popped up and the background behind the image is dry embossed with a birds and leaves Cuttlebug folder.
Card Recipe:Stamps: DRS Designs Pumpkin Bouquet
Paper: SU Haiku, K and Co. Glitter Paper, Lemon CS from Bazzill
Accessories: Gold cording, Memory Box Brads (copper), sewing machine, Classic Frame Spellbinders
I hope this creation inspires you to create and maybe even create using a DRS Designs image or for this sketch. If you do join us for this sketch challenge, please leave a direct link here.
Please include a last name so we can distinguish you from other participants. It is very hard to keep track of who is who for prizes and etc. when we only have first names. Thanks!!
If you upload your creations to SC, please use the keyword MMSC18.
