{SSSC201} An Announcement!

Tonight I have a really exciting announcement that I can finally share with you! My friend/ famous stamper and sketch designer, Karen Giron, has asked me to join the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge team!!! Whoop!!! I wanted so bad to try out for the open call she had awhile back, but I just had too much on my plate to consider that I might possibly get chosen, so I didn't even chance entering, LOL!! Imagine not entering for fear you might win!! That was me!
Anyway, some things have cleared off my overflowing plate, so I was thrilled when she asked me to join such a tremendous group of stampers!! Check out Karen's SSSC blog to see who else is being added to the roster!

Here is the sketch:


I turned the sketch upside down. Yes, guilty. First week in, and already messing with stuff ;)

I used this sweet digi from Whimsie Doodles, Winter Cup. I know Christmas is over, but it's freezing and snowing here, so I thought 'Hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'...Hopefully I'll be one step ahead by next Christmas with the cardmaking! 


He is coloured with Copics and pastel pencils. I added some Glossy Accents to his eyes, carrot nose and candy cane. Highlights were dotted on his cheeks using a sharpie fine tipped paint pen in white.


Be sure to check out what the other Sweet Stampers have been up to!

We enjoy sharing lots of samples on our company blog, where we also post challenges and tutorials.

I've used Whimsie Doodles Flakey Snowman and 5/8" light fuschia satin grosgrain double band ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel
I added some stardust glitter pen to the snowflakes, glaze pen to the buttons and white pen to add some highlights to my Copic colouring. 
I used this weeks SSSC sketch. You can find that HERE.
