Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #132: Kiss Kiss

Hi Blog Friends! Happy Tuesday! Ready for a challenge? Well, Tuesday Morning Sketches has another good one for you. It's sponsored by Paper Pretties, and they have some seriously cute stamps--both clear and digital. Just wait until you see the digi stamp I used today--I guarantee it will make you smile!

Isn't this Q-Pig digi stamp sweet? Are you smiling yet? I colored this little fella with Copics, added Stickles to his wings and hearts, and a drop of Liquid Pearls to his arrowhead.


Now, here's the sketch that Theresa came up with for us this week:

And, my finished card:

The text on the two hearts was typed in Word and printed on transparencies to make rub-ons. The scalloped heart die cuts were white paper that I stamped with a beautiful Lacier Heart stamp by Inkadinkado. They look a little orange in the photo, but in real life they're red. Even so, now that the card is finished, I wish I'd stamped them in a pinker shade.

The "Kiss Kiss" sentiment is embossed duct tape (of course, I first stuck the tape to cs before embossing). I used the same embossing folder as I did on the bg paper. I used a Copic marker to color the letters. Boy, those markers come in handy.

I made the pleated ribbon by taping the pleats to the cardstock first, then I stitched a line right down the middle.

The bg is white cs that I dry embossed, then I sponged Spun Sugar Distress Ink lightly across the raised areas. I've been hearing that leaving the cs in the embossing folder while sponging helps to keep the ink on the raised parts and off the recessed parts. Guess what? It's true! If you haven't tried it that way, give it a go. I think you'll be please with the result.

The Q-Pig, hearts, and Kiss Kiss sentiment are all popped up with foam dots. You can see the layers in the photo above.

And, here's a peek at the inside:
