I got this image and the coordinating ones from High Hopes last year before Christmas. It is alot of work to color for mass produced cards but fun for one! It is the only image I own that has a musical instrument so i am using it for the Papercraft Planet 12 days of christmas challenge but the site is down right now. I used the Unity sketch and the red piece is stamped with Unity's worn grid - it is becoming my go to background stamp! I distressed all the edges and then I inked them up - I got a little carried away on the main image but it took to long to color to re-do! I desperately need a new small water brush!!!!! Any suggestions?! I thought the twine was perfect for this! I inked up only part of the sentiment to fit my rectangle punch! Thanks for looking!

Tools:
CS: Real Red, Old Olive ?, Choc Chip, Very Vanilla
Stamps: Little Drummer Boy from High Hopes, Worn Grid by Unity
Ink: Choc Chip, Close to Cocoa
Other: SU markers, Skin White Copic, Twine, Pink Marvy Rectangle punch, Tim Holtz distress tool, aqua pen

I scrapped! YAY!!!! I was afraid I forgot how! LOL! I got goodies from Unity this week so I was dying to play! I just love this picture of Blake from last Christmas! The outfit was the CUTEST little thing EVER! It was so soft and fuzzy! And yes it had antlers - it wasn't mean it was CUTE! I wanted to play along with the Our Creative Corner Challenge today but I wanted to scrap so I thought ya know I think I can make that sketch work for a layout! And I did! I started with a cream piece of American Crafts cs, the Christmas collection I got at Mikes Black Friday. I stamped Unity's Worn Grid on a portion in Fired Brick Ranger Distress ink. I then cut my Basic Grey Wassail paper down and added a border sticker from the BG Wassail Sticker Sheet. I double matted my 4x4 photo on more Basic Grey Wassail and I used my Tim Holtz distresser to really distress the edges and then inked them with Frayed Burlap Distress ink. I added 3 pieces of PTI's Ripe Avocado double stitched ribbon folded over to create little tabs to the top and then added a wassail sticker, Making Memories poinsettia, and cut out image of Unity's do not open to the bottom left corner (image stamped in PTI Ripe Avocado). To create the title I used MME Bohemia rubons in brown and then BG Wassail alpha stickers and holly stickers. I jotted the date and his age in the bottom right portion. Thanks for looking! Man it feels good to scrap again! I actually finished another layout but am trying to decide something and I might need it for that so you only get this right now!
