Skipping Stones Design Guest Designer for October and Sketch #148


I'm so excited to be a guest designer over at Skipping Stones Design this month!  If you're not familiar with SSD, they have some of the funniest sets around, and as a slightly sarcastic individual, I'm a big fan.
 
Today I'm using my very first SSD stamp ever, Gray Hares. 
 
I wanted to make a really bright, fun, happy card.  Echo Park's Happy Days collection was perfect. 
 
I cut 3/4" strips of three of the patterns and mounted them to a base piece of cardstock.  I added some Charcoal twine from the Twinery, and popped the whole thing up with dimensional foam tape.

That cute little bunny was fussy cut, very subtley colored with my Spectrum Noir markers, and then attached using tombow on his torso (so he sticks to the piece with the strips) and then some dimensional foam tape on his bottom.



Did I mention that I won Gray Hares when I participated in this very sketch contest?  I didn't?  Well it's true.  You too could win a stamp set of your choosing by playing along!  Head over to the Skipping Stones Design for all the details!

Paper/Cardstock:  Echo Park - Happy Days 6x6 Paper Pad; Bazzill Card Shoppe - Sour Lemon; CTMH - White Cardstock
Stamps:  Skipping Stones Design - Gray Hares

Other:  The Twinery - Charcoal Twine; CTMH - Dimensional Foam Tape; Tombow - Mono Adhesive; Spectrum Noir Markers - BT1, FS6
