It's time for another Christmas in July mini challenge at Catch The Bug! Whoo Hoo! Are you enjoying the week long festivities, so far? We hope you are! Today's theme is a sketch, and the DT has had a blast with it. Affectionately known, as the Stella Says Sketch challenge, but this time around, we're thinking Christmas! Remember, there are prizes up for grabs from Bugaboo Stamps, so be sure to play along! Oh, and don't forget, there are mini challenges every day for the next week, so check back every day to see the latest theme! There are some wonderful grand prizes for those of you who play in every challenge during the Christmas In July!
Today, I've used the sketch to create a fun Christmas card, perfect for the guys, using the image JJ Christmas - Candy Cane, from Bugaboo Stamps. JJ is colored with Promarkers. I used a mix of Christmas paper and Polka dots, from my stash. This image just cries out for polkda dots, to me! And who says we can't do polka dots on a male card! I mean, afterall, JJ is just perfect for the guys with her sexy self! LOL. I used buttons, recycled from old clothing, as embellishments. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set by Stampin' Up, and punched with the word window and modern label punches. The faux stitching was added using a white opaque pen by Inksentials.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
