Freshly Made Sketches
I think that's all. :)
Update: I decided to link up with Pile it On, who's having a "sunshine" challenge this week. I mean, why not pile on another one?
Here is a close up on the letters:
For the CAS-ual Fridays challenge, I colored my wooden butterfly with my silver metallic marker, then added Silver Glitz Glitter Gel. I chose the movie Mixed Nuts for the Opus Gluei challenge because it is a Christmas movie that takes place in California, so it's warm and bright and sunshiny. It's one of my favorites.
For Heart2Heart, CAS-ual Fridays, and Less is More, where the challenges are Clean and Simple, I made sure to use minimal layers, and keep some white space. For Freshly Made, I made sure to add no distressing.
Materials used:
Cardstock: White
B&Ts: Dotty for You
Stamps: Art Philosophy, Card-Chatter Sympathy
Ink: Sweet Leaf, Smoothie
Markers: Sweet Leaf, Smoothie, Buttercup, Silver Metallic
Other: Cashmere Twill Ribbon, Garden Wooden Shapes, Silver Glitz Glitter Gel, Keepsake Felt Alphabet
Digi images: A Day for Daisies, Word Art Wednesday
Disclaimer: Some might say, when you use X-mas to replace Christmas, you are trying to x Christ out of Christmas. But here is a little known fact. In Greek, the word Christ starts with an X. Greek was the language he spoke. That's why X-mas is short for Christmas.
Hi Sarah! This is so bright and beautiful, and I am so blessed that you've taken the time to stop by and share it with us in this week's challenge. Have a great week, and please come by again soon. It's a realy blessing to have you join us and play along.
