Splitcoaststampers DTGD Day Three

Hello and welcome.  Today's the third day of the most anticipated week of the year over at Splitcoaststampers.com.  Every year the Dirty Dozen host a week of challenges for the Fan Club as a way to say thank you for supporting the website.  This year, as we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Fan Club, the challenges are open to everyone that wants to play along.  Come play along with us.  You can learn a new technique, find new ways to use your stash, chat with the design team, aka Dirty Dozen, and have a chance to win some fabulous prizes.  Once again, I am trying to use as much of my never before used stuff (NBUS), or rarely used stuff,  as inspiration for for Dare To Get Dirty.

Puppy Love - My Time Sketch Challenge

Hello again. Isn't this image cute!? This stamp is from Stampavie called Fanny's Cuddle Clear Stamps. I had such a blast coloring this little girl and her puppy too.

I started out by stamping my image in memento tuxedo black on white paper and then coloring everything with prismacolor markers; allowing my background designer paper to determine the colors used, before stippling Stampin Up! bashful blue dye ink around my little girl & the edges. I then popped the image up using All Night Media pop dots to add some dimension to the card.


Once all of the elements of the sketch were in place, including the white grossgrain ribbon, I sponged Stampin Up! barely banana dye ink around the edges of the card before adding some K&Co dimensional daisies I found on clearance at Michaels for the final touch.


Here's the sketch from Lauren's blog:
