I know you all are having a blast at the LIVE CHAT, but we wanted to give you another surprise, too....don't you LOVE IT when we do that?!? LOL! On top of getting to chat with the Farmers, Critter Crew, and CA&F gang, we have also decided to give you MINI BLOG HOP using some of the new images that are being released for this month. I used Oliver from the new "OA-My Favorite Thing" stamp set for my RETRO FAB card!
I used the CA&F Sketch #20 from Saturday (designed by my precious friend, Pam Varnell) as a starting point. He was stamped in Black Ink onto some PTI White Cardstock, then colored with Copics Sketch Markers. I reached for some patterned papers from the BasicGrey Archaic paper pad since they matched the colors on the focal image so well. I also collage stamped one of the sentiments from the set in Rich Cocoa Ink onto the rust-colored piece of patterned paper. I added some simple paper piercing to that same piece of patterned paper, then embellished simply with Copper Brads.
That's it for me! Thanks for hopping over to see me tonight, and I will see you back here tomorrow with another Tuesday Sketch Challenge! Until then...
