OWH SKETCH CHALLENGE 124

Hi girlies! Happy, happy Friday! I hope you have enjoyed a wonderfully crafty week. I know I have!

I have two cards to share today that are both inspired by Operation Write Home’s* sketch challenge. I got my new Copics and spent some time coloring (My DH thinks I have reverted back to my childhood).

I think I am going to enjoy doing this! Hambo Stamps Many Tanks stamp set is so cute. I used Distress Ink to shade the area around the tanks and the sentiment and Copics on the tanks.

The “polka dot” background is green card stock that is embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  Before embossing, I rubbed brown ink on the negative part of the folder to make the dots show up more.  This will be one of my AnyHero cards in my next box of cards.

SUPPLIES
SIZE: 5.5 x 4.25″

STAMPS: Hambo Stamps

PAPER: Craftwell card stock

TOOLS: Cuttlebug embossing folder, Big Shot

INK: Copics markers, Memento Tuxedo Black

ACCESSORIES: Really Reasonable Ribbon

This next card turned out better than I expected. Don’t you love it when that happens?

The puppy in the middle is Fred from Rubber Stampede. The puppies in the corners, the paw prints and the sentiment are all from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. Liquid Pearls were added around the edges of the focus panel.  The black panel under it was cut with a Spellbinders Lacy Square.The same technique as the card above was used on the base white card stock. Black specialty paper was used. It has a shiny finish and is just gorgeous on this card. The border punch is Martha Stewart and a grey Washi tape was attached to the strip. 

Copics were used for all coloring and Memento Tuxedo Black for stamping.
