Today's Friday Sketchers Challenge comes to us from Bea in Germany!! So I whipped out the first stamp I wanted to play with which is Charlotte and her Cat and got busy!!
I pulled out the Winter Bright Simply Scrappin' kit by Stampin' Up because I thought these colours were perfect for Charlotte. I used textured Real Red cardstock for the 6x6 card base and layered some Pretty in Pink designer series paper over top. Then I took a double sided piece of dp from the kit and cut a rectangle in it and snipped a little into each corner with my scissors. I carefully distressed the edges of the frame back with my thumbnail and bent it backwards. Now you can see the opposite side of the dp a little bit and it makes a nice frame for the picture of Charlotte!
I stamped the image on Wausau paper and coloured it in with coordinating Copic markers. I added the blue patterned strip and the red snowflake which are die cut stickers included with the SS kit. I layered a Heidi Swapp clear snowflake over the red one and attached it with a silver brad. Then I made the sentiment layer and used a silver label frame and added some pink taffeta ribbon to the sides and attached with silver brads.
I pulled out some matching dollar store buttons, threaded silver cord through them and attached them with glue dots. For finishing touches I added pink Stickles to Charlottes hat and muff and painted on some highlights with white acrylic paint! Isn't she just a doll???
You can currently preorder this stamp and all the other Whiff of Joy stamps and if you do so before Monday, there is FREE shipping!!! Yeehaw!!
