Hello, crafty friends!  Today starts a brand new Wednesday Sketch Challenge from My Favorite Things!

I decided to flip the sketch today and use a strip of some pink & white heart-patterned paper from the Sweet Stack Paper Pack for the bottom portion of my card.  I combined this with the newly released Joyful Hearts Bears illustrated by Stacey Yacula.

To start, I stamped my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock.  I then colored them with Copic Sketch Markers. (Brown: E31, E23, E25, E29; Pink: RV0000, RV00, RV52, RV55).  I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

For my background, I used the new Lots of Heart Stencil and lightly blended some Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks.  Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment onto a strip Licorice Card Stock and used the smallest of the Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips Die-namics to cut it out.

Here is a look at this week’s sketch layout.  Come play along for a chance to win a $50 MFT Gift Voucher (winner chosen randomly).  Head on over to the MFT Challenge & Inspiration Blog to see the beautiful designs from the rest of the team.
