H2H Sketch Challenge

Over at H2H we have been given a sketch challenge for this week.  And yes, I am running a bit late in getting my project posted, but I was being extremely indecisive in what I wanted to create.  Alas, my brain was finally able to produce something.  Below is the sketch provided by H2H.


I rotated the sketch so the circles are along the bottom.













I used the pattern paper from the CTMH Bliss paper pack and the January Stamp of the Month for my project. I stamped the dress form stamp onto Bamboo Cardstock using Desert Sand Ink.

 
I used my water brush directly on the Desert Sand Ink pad to pick up the color and then "painted" around the entire image.  It makes it look very aged, like it was cut from an old advertisement in a newspaper. The water brush did make my cardstock warp some, but that is the look I was going for.

I used Spellbinders dies to cut the scalloped circles from cork, the regular circles from Bliss patterned paper and hearts from felt.  I attached CTMH chocolate buttons using chocolate baker's twine and also used the twine to attach the "Love" sentiment (also from the January SOTM).  The sentiment is stamped onto a tag shaped piece of chipboard that CTMH made years ago.


SUPPLIES:

Paper:  Colonial White and Bamboo cardstock, Bliss patterned papers.

Inks:  Desert Sand and Chocolate

Stamps:  Find Your Style (D1452)

Embellishments:  Chocolate buttons, chocolate baker's twine, chipboard tag

Tools:  Spellbinders Nestabilities -scallop circle, plain circle, heart and Cuttlebug

Misc:  Fine Linen felt from Papertrey Ink and cork from my own stash.

Thanks for stopping by!
