~ A Merry Sketch ~

December 15th, 2009 by

Good evening!

 

I am so excited!!!   Roxie (Rox71 on SCS) contacted me last week and asked if I would like to host this week’s Sketch Challenge on SCS.   I didn’t have to think for even a second on that question!  Of course!!   Making sketches is a late night past time of mine.   When I can’t sleep, I play in MS paint.

 

So………  today I bring you this sketch to challenge you!

Flip it, Square it, use it like it is…whatever you do, have fun!   The top layer can be any shape you wish!  Check out the thread on Splitcoaststampers for more info.

 

Here are my two samples.   For the first one, I kept the orientation as landscape.

I used a circle as my centerpiece.

I wanted to do a third sample with the sketch squared, but I just had NO time.   I am sure the gallery will be full of fun samples, so make sure you check it out!!

 

Thanks for stopping by!   I hope you have a blessed day!

 

Hugs!

    Loved them on SCS and loving them here too 😀 Didn’t notice the melted candle wax on the ones on SCS – it is fabulous what you did! Wish sketches came to me that easy LOL! Needless to say, that is why I’m so thankful for all the sketches others post LOL! My one creative gene can only do so much!
