"HELAU!"
It's Rosenmontag and time for big Mardi Gras parades here in Germany. In fact, I may be at one as we speak ;)
It's also time for a new sketch at STAMPlorations and here it is.
Hmmm. Kinda funky. I couldn't get past those triangles cuz I just happen to have a stencil that could reproduce them perfectly. So my mind's eye got stuck in a rut. This is what happened.
I inked through the stencil with Shaded Lilac and a touch of Peacock Feathers Distress Inks. On PP from the Kiss My Neon 6x6 pad from Kesi Art I stamped a brushstroke from VIGNETTE: Chevron and Arrows before heat embossing my sentiment and then added some dots and coffee stains on the PP panel too. TIP: I find it difficult to do "generational stamping" with Distress Inks. Hard to get them to look soft if you know what I mean. Well, to ink 'em up I pounced on the solid stamps with my Distress Ink applicator which had some ink on it and voila! A softer image.
So what can you come up with for this sketch? Don't have to get stuck in the literal rut like me! Check out what the other DT members came up with. Join us for the Sketch #7 bi-weekly challenge and you might win three digital products from our sister shop, All about Scrapping.
