I often print out the sketch challenges for the week and then if I feel I need a little challenge to get the mojo going, I will pick one and go for it. So yesterday, I tried to do that. I picked out Jen delMuro's sketch for the week and decided the two vertical strips at the top, would be really cool with a Sizzix border die with gemstones in the holes. But, beyond that I couldn't figure out what stamps I wanted to use to go with this idea. This morning, before I even got out of bed, my idea formed in my head! Here is Jen's sketch.
Yes, it is true the sketch is actually a square card, but I saw where a couple of ladies on her team changed it to an A-2 size, so I did too. That size works so much better for me. My idea was to use this big 'ole dog and give her a hot pink, gemstoned collar! It worked! I believe it actually looks a collar, when in reality I just cut a oval piece and added under the head to "look" like one! While, I was coloring and working on the dog, I got to thinking about what sentiments would go with my new fancy dog. And my stamp, I just had to get from Stamping Bella before I closed my store, came to mind. The only problem was the sentiment wording was too big and way too long to fit in any circle. So, in the end, I decided to add it to the side of my rectangle piece. It changes the sketch a little, but not too much. I wasn't sure if I liked the line where it butts up, so I ended up adding one photo corner on the right bottom corner to draw your eye. I decided to go ahead and use the "No bones about it..." sentiment to begin the sentence. And adding a little bone tied with hot pink ribbon, with a gemstone pulls it all together. This is absolutly one of my favorite cards. How about you... what do you think?
