Boxed Sketch

This is my forth, and final (*sniff*), week as a guest designer for Papertake Weekly. I've really enjoyed my time with the team. I'd like to thank the team so much for letting me play along with you this month.  It's been a real treat.

Today's challenge is to a fab sketch.  I've used an image that I've got especially for this challenge from StampFairy called Jake Poinsettias.  My friend, the StampFairy artist, Gerda says that he looks like he's sitting in a snow globe!  I quite like that idea (that was the look I was going for, of course!!!)

Here's my box, (pink of course) !!! :



Here is a close up of Jake coloured with my pencils.  I'm not sure if I'm getting any better with these pencil colourings or not !!  What do you think?



And here is the sketch to follow, it's a nice one huh?:



Card Recipe:
  • Images - Jake Poinsettias from Stamp Fairy, and  Wall from The Stamping Boutique
  • Papers - Nitwit Designs
  • Nesties - Grand Labels 1
  • Colouring mediums - Pencils and Sansodor
  • From my stash - Pearl star, some really old ribbon I found, stickles
I hope to see you all join in the challenge, and please pop over to the Papertake Weekly Challenge Blog to see the other fab designs by the DT members, and join in the Sketch challenge this week.

I've been inspired by :
Happy crafting
