I've been a bad blogger this week and have neglected to mention some wonderful blog candy that's up for grabs over at the JustRite blog. They are introducing the November release of new stamps AND have daily blog candy prize drawings! You still have time to enter into a few of the drawings, so be sure not to miss that!
On to Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #105 (sorry I'm a little bit late today!) ... I was feeling a bit in the Christmas spirit and hadn't used these darling JustRite snowpeople from the Old Fashioned Christmas Set yet, so I decided to give them some inky love! What started out as a card ended up as a holiday door hanger for my girls ...thus, all the pink I have going on here!
Who can resist these sweet snowpeople put under a bubble clear party favor, filled with chunky glass glitter and made into a shaker?!! You can see a little better view of the bubble holder in this photo, along with the Copic markers I used to color:
I used Craft-a-Board for a 6-inch base behind the Basic Grey paper, to give some sturdiness, and cut a hole in it for the party favor's bubble to pop through. The favor is a clamshell -- the snowpeople are glued to the inside flat back of it. I found some pink & red cute little pompette trim in my stash (Beaux Regards from sweet Cindy's StarLitStudio store) that matched perfectly and then larger pom-pom trim was added to the bottom edge and looped at the top, to make the hanger.
The only pink buttons I had were a little too light for my preference (see them closest to my Copic Airbrush System in the photo above), so I airbrushed them with the same Copic R85 I used to color the snowlady.
Since the snow inside my shaker would have covered up the lower portion of the JustRite border for this 3.25" round stamp, I decided to leave it off the main image and just cut it up and used over on the lower right!
You can find more samples of this sketch by visiting these fabulous ladies: Beate, Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn, Lori and Mary Jo. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and can play along with this sketch! And don't forget to check out that JustRite blog candy giveaway!!
