Outlawz Sketch Challenge

A new Sketch Challenge has just gone up over at the Outlawz.

Our sponsor for the whole month of October has been Polka Doodles. What a great sponsor and a great bunch of awesome images at the shop.

Here is the great sketch we get to work with this week!

I rotated the sketch 90 degrees so my image would work better. Here is my card using Angel from Polka Doodles.

I kept it pretty simple because I wanted this cute little angel to be the main focus!!


Hope you will stop by the Outlawz Sketch Challenge and see what the other Design Team girls have made!


Challenges I am entering:
Party Time Tuesdays - Anything Goes
Just Inspirational - Occasions (Christmas)
Fan-tastic Tuesday - Monochrome
Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes


Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

The background paper is a digital paper from the Garden Fairies set by Panda Bear Designs sold at Stitchy Bear.

The ribbon trim is a jute decorative trim (no brand name) and the embellie that looks like a starburst is a color-ready wood element from a set by Close to my Heart.

My card measures 5 x 7 which is my usual card size if I'm not doing a 6 x 6 inch. My supply list is below the card!

Papers are from a holiday set by Imagine That

COMING SOON!!! A PARTY AT THE OUTLAWZ!!!

http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/

Outlawz Sketch Challenge has a new challenge for you

The Outlawz Sketch Challenge has a new challenge up and running!

Our sponsor for the month of October is the incredible Polka Doodles.  Be sure and stop at the store and see all of the lovely images!!

http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/index.php

Here is the new sketch we are working with this week!

For my DT card, I used Merry Maison from Polka Doodles! Such fun. A week or so ago, I tried my hand at digital coloring using Photoshop Elements and it was so fun I had to try it again. It is no substitute for coloring with markers as that is soooooo relaxing and I love my Copic markers, but this is fun too! And I used my copics to do some shading over the top of the colored image and I thought it turned out really well.  Here is the image after I colored it digitally and before adding my copics and Stickles.

Here is my card after I added some copics and of course my favorite Stickles, Diamond Stickles.

I'm going to enter the following challenges:
Party Time Tuesdays - Anything Goes
Fan-Tastic Tuesday - Add some yellow (my windows)
Totally Gorjuss - Traditional Christmas Colors
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge - Add something round (snowflake embellie on the right side)
Crafty Hazelnuts Extra Challenge - Christmas


Thanks for stopping by my blog and hope you are having a great week!
