Bonus Sketch!

 The proportions of my image are way off for Bonus Sketch TG004 at iheartart, but I really wanted to play along, even though my mojo is somewhat lacking today.  I searched high and low for a stamp(s) to use and finally settled on this beautiful, although, over-sized, image from Magenta.

I went through mucho Whisper White paper before getting one good, clear image!  Like I said, my mojo is not hanging out with me today.  I was excited about using my Fancy Tag Shapeabilities with vellum to stamp my Paper Inspirations sentiment on!  And then finding two elaborate pewter brads in my stash was a stroke of luck!

Behind the upper left corner of the image is just a sliver of metallic pewter paper to give a subtle hint of sparkle. I couldn't use a larger piece because, well you know, the size of the image, and I obviously seem to be incapable of thinking to make my card larger than A2!

Cherry Cobbler card stock and ink give a splash of color to the impressive black and white image!


Off to stamp some more!

wow..that is a large image. but perfect for the sketch. I'm starting to think I need to invest in cherry cobbler ink and paper myself!
