Hello friends! It’s time for a brand new Wednesday Sketch Challenge! Come play along for a chance to win a $50 MFT Gift Voucher! (Winner is chosen at random.)

For my take on the sketch, I rotated the sketch to make it a vertical card. I used the Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics to create some drifts at the bottom of my card to resemble the bottom of a lake. I diecut these pieces from Smooth White Card Stock and lightly blended them with Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered each piece with both water and diluted Opaque White Paint to give some added texture. Once dry, I used a variety of warm brown Copic Markers to add some extra texture with some lightly applied dots.

For my images, I used the BB Otterly Love You Stamp Set and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Copic Colors Used:

• Browns: E41, E42, E43, E44, E47
• Gray Otter: W00, W0, W2, W4
• Oranges: YR12, YR07, YR18
• Gray Rocks: C00, C0, C2, C4, C6

I set these images aside and stamped a few pieces of green foliage from the BB Mermazing Stamp Set. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and then worked on a watery background for my base. I first trimmed a piece of Smooth White Card Stock to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and blended it from the bottom to top with Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks. I faded out my color toward the top, allowing for some white space. Once dry, I trimmed this piece down to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and then adhered it to a vertical 4.25″ x 5.5″ white card base.

I stamped my sentiment with black ink onto the top left corner of my card and added all of my images with some 3D Foam Adhesive Tape for added dimension.
