ISSC12 - A Great Dad

Alright, my crafty friends! The latest iSpy Sketches Challenge has been posted and I hope you'll play along with us! It's a good one!

This week one of my favorite crafty peeps is at the root of our inspiration! It's Melyssa Connolly! I am on her Whimsie Doodles Design Team! She is also an illustrator for There She Goes Stamps and I am on that Design Team as well so I am lucky enough to get my hands on all of her images! We are using THIS card of Melyssa's for our inspiration this week:

And here is the sketch:

And here is my take on the sketch:

I started with a PTI fine linen CS base. The image and sentiment are from the There She Goes Clear Stamps Dadisms stamp set which I stamped on PTI vintage cream CS. I distressed the edges and added some PTI tea dye duo around the edges. I colored the image with copics. I paired it with some DSP from the Simple Stories Yearography 6x6 paper pad. I added a PTI dark chocolate button and some natural jute.

Here's how to play:

Create a paper crafting project (card, scrap book page or 3D item), based on the sketch provided.
Post your creation on your blog or an online gallery (using a code ISSC02), and link it up over on the iSpy Sketches blog.Please provide a direct link to your post - not the generic link to your blog.
A new challenge will be posted every Friday at 12.01 AM EST, and you have until noon on Wednesday EST to submit your entry.
You may enter as many times as you like, but please provide a newly designed project with a new link for each additional project.
We will choose the top 2 creations to be featured in our "Top 2 Thursday" post where we will announce who we have picked :) The winners will receive their very own iSpy Sketches blog badge!
Don't forget that you may combine our challenges with others and use supplies from any company that you wish :)
Have fun and we look forward to "spying:" your creations!
