Hi!
You've probably worked out by now that I love my pop culture stamps. I'm getting quite a collection!! One company that I like, Ink Road Stamps, just started a monthly challenge in their FB group, with the first theme being Movies. To make the challenge a little easier on myself, I went searching for a sketch challenge to go with it. I've known of Freshly Made Sketches for a while, but never played along. Today was the day!
This is their current sketch challenge, which will close in less than a day. Oops, better get my skates on! I chose my Pretty Bizarre stamp set, by Ink Road Stamps, to go with it.
I started with the silhouette stamp, which I stamped on my Stamparatus. I had to stamp a few times to get a full, solid black image. He's just fussy cut, which I really shouldn't do late at night! I really love this sentiment, too. It cracks me up every time! I love how the silhouette is framed by the two Stitched Triangles die cuts - such a cool effect.
The stencil that I used is Burst Layering Stencil, by Tim Holtz. Lucky Clover Distress Oxide was the ink I used, and stencilled onto Shaded Spruce cardstock.
I used a couple more stamps from Pretty Bizarre on the inside. I struggle a bit with needing to put a 'happy birthday' stamp somewhere on a birthday card, but then I usually end up writing happy birthday anyway, so maybe the stamp is a little redundant? I shall have to ponder some more!
Bye for now,
Tina
