I Tried

Hello and welcome.  I'm still guest designing for Bugaboo Stamps over on their challenge blog Catch The Bug.  Today is day 2 of their week long Christmas In July challenges.  Today's challenge is a sketch.

Before we start our event this week we would like to honor a design team member I am  sad to say we we lost just recently. I am sure many of you knew Julie through her blog and through social media.    She was such a great person and a better friend to many.

 Julie Temple has been a huge part of the Bugaboo  Family since 2011.   That is a long time and  we will miss not only her amazing talents but her kindness and willingness help in promoting Bugaboo! 

  We miss you friend  and teamie and we would not be here today without you and your hard work and dedication to Bugaboo Throughout the years! 

 Julie you are gone but not forgotten and I am so thankful for knowing you!

We will be featuring a past project of Julie's each day of the event!

My card today uses Bugaboo's image Stella I Tried Christmas List.  I have to say I absolutely LOVE the Stella images.  Just the right amount of snarky to make your day.  After printing off my image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling some Tim Holtz broken china distress ink around the edges before layering. For my card, I decided to pull out a neglected K & Company Christmas Cheer designer paper pad.  Since the saying was part of my image, in place of the saying on the sketch, I added some gold enamel dots in it's place.  My only other embellishments was a burgundy bow and highlighting part of the image using Sakura 3D glaze pens.
