This fortnight at stampotique challenges @ http://stampotiquedesignerschallenge.blogspot.com/ is sketch time!!
Anyway I was determined to challenge myself and was mightily pleased with the results..so here they are:
I started by masking off the middle strip and inked background using black soot and pumice stone DI, using a Tim splatter and paperartsy splats.One of the strips I used black card and managed to leave it alone!!!
The second strip was my latest purchase some Tim tissue wrap, I am in love already, this comes on a huge roll and I already love it! I cut a strip and coloured using picket fence distress stain, then set aside to dry, well if i am honest I blasted it with my heat gun!!!!
Then I added black soot DI and stamped the splatter stamp over , again in black soot.
I am really pleased with how this turned out, but hopeful..it won't be sketch time again for a while!
I am entering this for the following competitions:

ReplyDeleteFab take on the sketch :)
ReplyDeleteLove the ink splats and those guys are cute!
Great work Trace. My heart always sinks when I see a sketch too.... like someone has told me instead of using my creativity I have to paint by numbers. I have the same feeling when scrappers seem to think its fine to 'lift' ideas too. But thats enough moaning rofl...
ReplyDeleteI didnt think this was too bad as sketches go and totally get where you are coming from.
The end result you've shown is a stunner. The pen nib is a perfect finishing touch and those three guys always make me smile.
Thanks for taking the bull by the horns and joining us this week on Stampotique.
A wonderful take on the sketch! I love everything about this.
ReplyDeleteYou should be mighty pleased, your card is lovely!
