Sketch Saturday #76

Hello & Happy Wednesday!! Hope your weather is as beautiful as ours! Hard to believe the holiday season is just about upon us, & it's been sunny & 50-60 degrees the last few days!!

I rarely get to participate in challenges....even though I subscribe to numerous challenge blogs. I don't even get around to High Hopes *every* week....tsk!! But this week when I saw the Sketch Saturday sketch I knew I wanted to play & I ever knew what image I wanted to use!!




I received this Tilda with Puppy stamp from 7 Kids College Fund recently & couldn't wait to ink it up!! I've had my eye on this cutie since the first day I saw it, many many months ago, & *finally* got to order it! Here's a sad but true funny for ya.......I stamped the image, was almost done coloring it with my Prismas, when I slapped my forehead & yelled "CRAP!!!!" I had wanted to use Distress Inks to color it!! LOL!! I'm so used to grabbing my pencils that I didn't even think about it until I happened to spy my little cup of water & that's when I remembered. So yes, I scrapped the almost-fnished image & started over!! When I get an idea in my head there's no changing it ~ I wanted to watercolor this image so that's what I did!! Which always takes me forever......because I'm not very good at it.....but today I felt like I was working on this card for days, lol!!

So I did use my Distress Inks......& the papers are SU's Riding Hood Red & K&Company's Wild Raspberry......2 of my favorites that I will never be able to get my hands on again!! At least I don't think I can get the Wild Raspberry anymore....they are constanly coming out with new packs so I'm sure they "retire" the older ones. Good thing I bought 3 packs, lol!!

I used my Oval Nesties to cut the image out....I used my Martha doily lace border punch on the RHR layer & the Vanilla layer (you probably can't even see the Vanilla layer.....I didn't want to cover any more of the dotted paper so it's just peeking out a bit).....& finished it off with some RHR ribbon & some Primas.

EDITED ~ Oh my goodness, I forgot to color her little hair thingies!!! LOL! Yeah, I know, you probably didn't even notice.....but in case you did I wanted you to know I remedied the situation!!! A girl can't have bare hair thingies!!

Thanks so much for visiting.....Happy Veteran's Day to all (Rememberance Day to my Canada friends) & THANK YOU!!!!!
