Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz

July is going so fast and we are just about to end of it, but we do have another Wednesday Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz that is sponsored by an awesome digi company, Make It Crafty. Zoe and Make It Crafty have been our sponsor all month and the July winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the store. Not only digital images, but Make It Crafty also has chipboard elements and rubber stamps. Hope you will visit the store.

I have really enjoyed using MIC images all month. Zoe has had birthday specials all month long for her five year anniversary of her store so I got some really sweet deals.

Hope you will come over to the Outlawz and take a look at what the design team has made with this great sketch! I think this one will be one of my favorites!





I had to turn the sketch to make my focal image work and I really like how this card turned out. My focal image is Cordelia Mermaid from Make It Crafty. I think this might be the very first MIC image that I acquired! If not the first, it is for sure one of my earlier ones!! I colored Cordelia with Copic markers and found this cute little sticker border in my stash. The background was created with painting Zig Clean Color Brush markers over a piece of patterned paper and letting it dry before adding some Gold Smooch. I also did a little practicing on my cast shadow (around the mermaid tail).
Final touch was pearl embellies and Diamond Stickles!





Challenges I am entering:
Marker Pop - Anything Goes
Through the Craftroom Door - Anything Goes
Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Holy moly, it's July at the Outlawz!!

Can't believe it is July 1st!!  Always makes me feel sad because when July gets here, it seems that summer just flies by. Maybe because I start spending all my time indoors as July and August in Iowa can be quite miserable with the heat, humidity, and flying bugs!!!  A good reason to spend more time in my craft room!!

But here at the Outlawz, July is crafty fun as usual!!  I'm excited for July and the Sketch challenge because there are five (5) !!! Wednesdays in July and that means five sketch challenges. Sandra has made some lovely sketches again for us to use!!

And July brings with it a new sponsor for the month. All month we are sponsored by Make It Crafty. If you have not been to the store to see what delightful images are there, you don't know what you're missing. Besides digital images, there are also rubber stamps, chipboard, and tutorials for sale. Zoe has also put some free instructional videos on her store page, too.  The facebook page for Make it Crafty is really fun and I encourage you to join the group if you haven't. Zoe has specials all the time and that is a great way to learn about them firsthand!!

So be sure and check out the store at Make It Crafty!

The monthly winner will get $10 gift card to spend at the store!

Here is the sketch for this week! I really like this one!


And here is my Design Team card for July 1st. I used the Make It Crafty image, Cherry Blossom. I colored with Copic markers and the butterflies, papers, and bling are all from my stash!
