Hi everyone! It's Friday and it's time for Taylor's Sketch Challenge!! I took a little liberty with the sketch by flipping it and not using the three squares, instead using that space for my sentiment and some ribbon! I have been dying to ink up the cute little piggies from the Taylored Expressions set, Trick or Sweet II, but wanted to use them on a Christmas card. So here's what I did.....
I stamped the little piggies by masking them. They were stamped on Choice Snow White with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with Copics. The little pieces of Holly are from the birdcage stamp from the new Taylored Expressions set, Wings of Joy. The sentiment is from another one of Taylored Expressions new sets, Holiday Wonder. I masked it so that the words "A Mouse" were left off the end and then came back in with the "Little Piggies" portion of the sentiment from Trick or Sweet II, "We're All Little Piggies on Halloween". Clear as Mud? LOL! The sentiment was cut out with Long Rectangle Nestabilities and sponged with Pretty In Pink ink before I removed it from the die. The ribbon is PTI Scarlett Jewel Twill and the clear rhinestones are Hero Arts! I think it turned out so cute! I'm not one to mix and match sets, so I felt a little creative when I thought to do this!!
For more inspiration, take a look at the awesome samples from the sketch crew:
