SPDSS19 - You're the Bomb

Welcome to this week's addition of the SugarSketch Challenge! 

We've got a fun sketch for you to get those creative juices flowing!

I played along with some of the newly released products including the Classroom Cupids stamp set, the SugarCuts - Air Mail Set. and the SugarCuts - Heart Journal Card.

I started by stamping the line heart from the Classroom Cupids stamp set onto the red card stock.   I ran a die from the SugarCuts - Air Mail Set through the big shot with white card stock and then again with red and black card stock.  I inlaid the negatives back into the die cut. I embossed the black panel to add some texture.

I stamped the bomb and sentiment from the Classroom Cupids stamp set in Momento tuxedo black ink and MFT wild cherry hybrid ink. I curved the sentiments on my acrylic block before stamping them since I wanted the image and sentiment to fit into a circular panel.     I used clear and red Wink of Stella glitter markers to add some shimmer to the bomb.  I created the arrow using a die from the SugarCuts - Heart Journal Card  and then I added some shimmer to it with a clear Wink of Stella glitter marker.    

Here is the sketch:

SugarPea Designs is so excited to be celebrating our 1st Birthday – and what an amazing year it has been!! We are celebrating this momentous occasion with a Blog Hop featuring our AMAZING SugarPea design team and some very talented Special Guests!

I went back to our very first release and chose to ink up the "A Bushel and a Peck" stamp set for today's birthday bash blog hop! 

I remember chatting with Wendy on the phone and brainstorming a bunch of idea about what we could put in her basket like it was yesterday.  Here we are one year later and look at all of the amazing stamp sets and dies and storage solutions that SugarPea Designs is producing!   

I paired some patterned papers from the Simply Stories Homespun 6x6 paper pad with some PT white card stock and some MFT nightshift blue card stock. I colored my image with copics and used a white gel pen to jazz up the flowers a bit and to add polka dots to the red band around the basket,

The Love Bug

Today I am sharing with you a card I created with one of the newest images to the C.C. Designs Pollycraft line.  Please meet Spot! Isn't she the cutest little bug you ever did see?!

I knew I wanted to piar her with that sentiment from the new Pollycraft Valentine Sentiment stamp set and it was that sentiment that was actually the inspiration for this design.   I wanted Spot to be "caught" so I found THIS mason jar template that I re-sized and printed out onto white card stock.

I colored the mason jar with the following copics:

C07, C05, C05, C03, C01, C00, colorless blender

I stamped my image in Momento tuxedo black ink and colored her with copics.  I used a white gel pen to add the freckles to her cheeks and I made her wings and headband shimmer with a clear Wink of Stella marker.  I also added some Glossy Accents to her glasses to make them glossy. 

  

Here are the copics I used oto color the image:

skin - E11, E21, E00, E000, R12, R20, R30

hair - E35, YR24, YR23, YR21, YR20

clothing and headband: V29, RV25, RV23,YR68, YR61

wings: 708, YY02, Y00

If you have not yet checked out the line of Pollycraft stamps, be sure to do so!   There are so many cute rubber stamps from which to choose!
