Happy Thursday all!! I have another fabulous sketch challenge card to show you (well, the sketch is fabulous at least, lol!) Tamara comes up with wonderful sketches and this one is no exception! I decided on a holiday card because I am working towards getting all mine done so that I can mail them out in a timely manner this year (read, NOT wait until the week of Christmas, heehee!) So, I inked up that adorable little Santa from the Jolliest Time of the Year stamp set and decided to watercolor him, then add some iridescent ice to his beard and his suit trim to give him some pizazz!!! I like the way he turned out - but hey, I am a Santa fan so it's hard to make the jolly man look bad - lol!! So, make sure you get over to Tamara's site and check out the rest of the DT projects - they will amaze you! And, if you want to try the sketch yourself, please upload your link to the site so we can all come and check it out!!! I will leave you with the recipe and will be back tomorrow with the Stamp Something challenge! Whoohoo, it will be a hoot, I am excited to share it with you so make sure you pop back in and check it out!!
