A Sketch Challenge and Tutorial Tuesday, March 23, 2010

This week, I'm playing along with the Paper Craft Planet Sketch Challenge sponsored by Whimsie Doodles.

Sorry that the picture is "noisy" -- I took it late at night.  I created this card using one of Whimsie Doodles digital sets “Paws I Care”. Every penny of profit from this set goes to support the SPCA. Wendy had paper pieced her sample, so I decided to try that too.  I printed the image 3 times and cut each layer out so that I could stack them with dimensionals.  The paw prints are a dingbat font called Animal Tracks, that I cut with my Silhouette. 

Here's another shot, with my lovely assistant, Obi.

Obi does NOT think I'm funny.

OK, are you ready to play along? Here are the sketch for this week –

You could win a $10 voucher to Whimsie Doodles if you play along in our challenge… (you get to pick your favorites – but you must use the voucher in one transaction)

To play along, simply create a card using our sketch! WAIT — there is more — you must also use an animal image on your card. (You can use any animal from any company.) Upload it to the PCP gallery using the tag sk032010.

OK, onto Tutorial Tuesday, where the best artists in the Blogosphere share with you the basics of rubber stamping, paper crafting and scrapbooking. We'll even teach you how to use that Photoshop program you have sitting under your desk right now!  All this for the bargain price of FREE! Read on...
