Trevor and the Sweet Stop Sketch…

August 14, 2010September 27, 2012 Pam Sparks27 Comments

Meet sitting Trevor from the new CC Designs Take a Seat Kit. Trevor was masked and the birdbath/bench positioned/stamped with the stamp a ma jig. I have a tutorial on masking and positioning with the stamp a ma jig HERE. Memento Tuxedo Black Ink for stamping and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. This kit guarantees hours of stamping/creating adorable cards and projects! I ♥ it! I used the leaves and sentiment from CC Designs Fall kit from last year. The Scene is diecut with the square nestabilities dies. Papers are from Bo Bunny and card-stock from Prism. I used the Magnolia swirl die again, gonna get my $$ out of that die! lol The branch border punch is from Martha Stewart, the paper cord from JoAnn’s and the leaf punch is an old Emagination brand punch. I punched the leaves out of white card-stock, embossed veins and colored them with copic sketch markers. YR21 all over the leaf, then from the bottom of the leaf up, I stroked in E44, YG95, YR14 and leaving some YR21 at the top…retrace and blend with the color close to what you just colored! Almost forgot…I used the Tim Holtz tiny attacher for stapling the cord in place.

This is my DT card for the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge Blog this week. I am really enjoying being on this team… the sketches are challenging but very do-able! Hope you can join us with week! Lots of inspiration on the challenge blog! Here’s this weeks sketch…

Also linking to the Alphabet Challenge Blog with a theme of “p” is for punches and If the Shoe Fits Challenge blog with a theme of diecuts…my square is a nestabilities die and I used the Magnolia swirl die. Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog is trees or leaves.

Oh, he does make me smile… such a handsome little guy! lol Happy Weekend and thanks for coming by!

Sunflower Emma and the wagon are part of a NEW CC Designs Kit, Take A Seat! There are FIVE Emmas, One Trevor and accessories galore! Did you see the overstuffed chair yet?

My sunflower Emma spent too much time out in the sun picking sunflowers! ouch…sunburn! lol I was thinking it’s a good thing she doesn’t have a nose! Well really I think my E00 needs refilled again, and I just didn’t realize til to late. Seems like I have to refill 00 & 000 a lot! She’s adorable anyway!

She is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday, the challenge at ABC-challenge blogis A is for August and at Cute Card Thursday Challenge the theme is “whateva”!
