Green One - AHSC #540

Happy Monday!   Time for a new sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

He's baaaaack ....

The Green One (CC Designs) is just too cute to use only one image.  So I've stamped up again in wicked black ink (Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps) and coloured with Copic Markers.  I've also used the co-ordinating dies to cut out this cute little guy.

The image is popped up with foam tape on a tag die cut (CTMH) and again popped up onto Vicki Boutin patterned paper.  The sentiment is heat embossed black (CTMH) with a bit of doodling on the tag.

There's a new sketch every week for your inspiration.  

Challenge - Fall

Made by Elves - AHSC #538

Happy Monday & welcome to another sketch from Atlantic Hearts

I had the smallest amount left of Vicki Boutin - Warm Wishes patterned paper  and had to use it us.  Each square is cut at a tad less than 1 3/4" and placed on white cardstock, matted on black cardstock.

.

I've used Made by Elves stamp set (Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps) inked in wicked black ink (Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps) and coloured with copic markers.  She is then fussy cut & popped up with foam tape onto the centre panel.  I've added the sentiment and enamel dots to finish off.

Play along with us each week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
