mft sketch challenge 615

There's a new sketch challenge happening over on the MFT Stamps blog and I love joining in the fun! I think having a card sketch is such a great creativity boost because knowing the card design gives your brain space to do other things like try new mediums or techniques! 

For example I adore patterned paper but I just collect it and never use it. With the help of this sketch, I actually used it! 

Here's this week's sketch...

And here's the card I created...

The card design seemed perfect for the Snow Buddy die set. To make it easy, I die cut the snowman from white cardstock and colored the individual pieces with Copic markers.

I like to put a loop of low-tack tape on an acrylic block and use it to hold the small pieces while I color.

The rectangle background is a leftover piece of DIY glitter paper (from this project) and the card front is covered with the Christmas Text patterned paper.

You can learn more about the sketch challenge over on the MFT Stamps blog!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
