Good morning all, hope you had a good weekend. As its Tuesday its time for a new challenge over on
Its still Christmas in July..
and this week we have a sketch for you to follow.
Sweet stamps are offering a 25% discount on all things Christmasy in the store but this offer only lasts until the end of the month! So get your orders in soon and if you enter into the challenge your name will go into the prize draw to win a $25 spending spree in the shop!
So here's my take on the sketch. I used the carousel horse again, I just love this stamp! and can be used for many different occasions. I have teamed it up with the gorgeous "Merry Christmas" sentiment.
Copic colours
Horse - E34, 33, 31, 30 - E37, 35, 33, 31
BGo1, 0000, BG10
R85, 83, 81
The Christmas tree is a wooden decoration that I brought last year in the sale. Its just been painted with acrylic paint and picket fence crackle paint over the top and then distressed with Shades Die Ink -Satin Rose. I then added a metal snowflake charm attached with sliver cord.
This is the view from the inside of the easel card the circle was cut with a XL stackers die from Cheery Lynn..
