Have a Ball

Finally got a chance to play with The Stamps of Life March club set, Bubblegum4me.  Cute set!! I used this weeks sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I use sketches quite a bit since I am creatively challenged!

I started with a white card base and sponged on some Broken China Distressed Ink for the background.  I then adhered a strip of PP to the middle.  Stamped the sentiment on a fishtail flag and adhered that to a strip of green paper.  Glued the sentiment strip as shown.  I stamped the gumball machine and fussy cut it out.  Colored the machine and gumballs with a variety of water based markers.  Still need practice with markers.  I prefer to use my colored pencils, but thought I'd give the makers a try.  Added some Glossy Accents to the gumballs. I then popped it up with some foam tape,  Easy peasy!!
Thanks for looking!  God bless!!

  3. Hey, sketches don't come easy! I'd say that reaching for a sketch shows that you have too MANY ideas :) And from how your card turned out I'd definitely argue with you about being creatively challenged. Be nice to yourself, Kris :)
    I am loving those bubblegum pieces - the shading looks great, they look shiny! So glad you played with us at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week :)
