Hi everyone! It's Tuesday and it's Mercy's Sketch time!! I say it week after week, but this is another fabulous sketch!
I was asked a few weeks ago by Irina Blount, owner of La La Land Crafts, to be a special guest for the month of November and of course I said yes! Irina is local (we actually discovered she lives basically withing walking distance to me!) and teaches classes at one of our LSS's! The images from her line are just too cute! The one I used today is called Christmas Kirby. Isn't Kirby adorable? I stamped Kirby in Memento Tuxedo Black on PTI White and colored him in with Copic Markers. I added some Crystal Snow Glitter with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen to the brim and ball of his Santa Hat and to the top portion of the stocking. The DP is from Rustic Snowflakes from Papertrey and don't you love the ribbon? Lisa Johnson gives a great tutorial for this ruffled ribbon trim on her blog!
Don't forget to check out more inspiration from the other Muse's! Crystal wasn't able to join us this week as she's feeling a little under the weather! Feel better, Crystal!
I hope you have a great day! Thank you for stopping by!













Ooh I LOVE your colours and that ribbon treatment is amazing! (Kirby is a little sweetie).

Oh my gosh, it's seriously too early in the a.m. and I haven't had enough coffee...it's so OBVIOUSLY a puppy and I have NOOOOO idea why I typed the word "kitty"...maybe it had something to do with the name Kirby...oh my, sorry about that!!
