Freshly Made Sketches #8 ...

I am so excited ... I am finally playing with Freshly Made Sketches and getting my card posted on time!  


Here is the fresh sketch to go by.  I decided to turn mine the other direction since it worked better with my image.

I used another free digi image for this card.  This cute fellow, Harold Duck, is from Doodle Pantry.  

Stamps:  Fabulous Phrases, digi from Doodle Pantry

Paper:  Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, White, Early Expresso

DSP:  Pumpkin Pie

Ink:  Early Expresso

Accessories:  Prismacolor Markers, Early Expresso ribbon, corner rounder, rhinestones, circle punches, Spellbinder ribbon banner

My only problem that I noticed with this digital stamp is that my markers bleed outside the lines a little bit.  Most noticeable on his head and body.  I don't know if it is the markers, printer ink or paper.  

I have always admired the cards that I see colored with Copic Markers.  I bought the Prismacolor Markers because they were cheaper and I liked the way they colored.  Well, I guess I wanted to be like everyone else ... trying to keep up with the GREAT stampers ... and I bought, off of Ebay, a set of 72 Copic Markers.  I'm so darn excited and can't wait for them to arrive.  Not looking forward to the credit card bill to arrive though ... LOL.

Thanks for stopping by and ...

Have a great day,

A spooky sketch

I tried something new on this card that I've never done before.  I used a digital stamp that I downloaded from Bird's Cards blog.  I do not have a lot of Halloween stamps so went browsing through blogs that offered digi stamps.  This card is for my nephew so I decided to use this spooky looking pumpkin.  I'm more of a cute pumpkin face lover.  

This layout is from the Pals Paper Arts designed by Pal Margaret Moody.  So I started with this sketch ...

and ended with this card ...

Stamps:  Wicked Cool, digi by Bird's Cards

Paper:  Black, Cajun Craze, White

DSP:  paper pack from Hobby Lobby

Ink:  Black

Accessories:  Prismacolor markers, Nestabilities oval dies, Halloween ribbon from H.L., glitter pen, square lattice embossing folder, mini brads.

• After printing the pumpkin on white cardstock, I colored it with my Prismacolor Markers and cut it out.
• I added glitter to the eyes trying to make it more friendly looking ... didn't work.  Think he actually looks more evil.  

Thanks for stopping by and ...

Have a great day,

Pam~
