Whimsy

 

Good morning!  Today's sketch for

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 

provided me with a great deal of fun. There were so many ideas that I wanted to try...first thought was stencil and paste. But I have wanted to draw or paint some odd shapes and fill them for a while. I love watching videos of folks water coloring and then drawing them. I just happened to have my Posca pens on the table because grandchildren have been painting rocks, and I used those on a heavy weight dark brown paper.  Instead of doodling, I stamped with a variety of small stamps from Gina K Designs. Finally, some accents were added with a gold pen and a white Gel pen.  Ribbon from my stash.    Hope you will play along!

Paper Butterfly

Happy Monday morning and welcome to a new sketch at                                Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge

I have made a small Z-fold that opens for the inner panel element.  The patterned papers are from an old scrapbook magazine. I used some leafy dies to cut out from the edges of the same paper, used a butterfly from my embellishments drawer and some CTMH metal studs from my stash.  Kind of a 'found materials' card.  I love how it came out, and how it reinforces my procrastination about cleaning out the craft hoard :-)  The sentiment is from Gina K Designs You Are Enough mini set.
