It's Thursday! Which means a new challenge over at The Digi Shack. Mandy has come up with this awesome sketch. Seriously, I can think of a gazillion possibilities with this:
Isn't it great? It's her first sketch! I look forward to many more from her as she is our official Challenge Coconut.Here's my take on it:
The image is from The Digi Shack, of course. Isn't this baby so sweet? I love the expression on his face! I just randomly cut out the flames, I didn't want them too severe as he is still pretty innocent. I found this great corner punch and thought it looked dungeon-y. ;) The sentiment is by SU and the background was done with the swirl CB folder. I want you to try this sketch! The DT has some amazing samples - click HERE to see them all. Upload it into SCS' gallery under TDSC03, and leave a comment on the main blog HERE so we can all ooh and ahhh over yours. And finally, a quick tip to avoid inky fingers when you're sponging.
See this pink guy? 
It's just a chip bag holder. That's my dirty sponge next to it. I am so cheap that I cut the SU ones down into 8 wedges and use every possible side before I wash it out and try to ink it up again. lol! And here's what I do when I need to ink edges, make clouds, or sponge around an image:
No more inky fingers! I was notorious for smudging an image or a card before I started doing this. You can also use a clothespin, binder clip, anything that will hold a sponge while giving you a good grip. Now I know this qualifies for a Get-Oh Fabulous Friday post, but there was NO WAY I could add it on to tomorrow's surprise! So enjoy your Thursday, then come back over here tomorrow, you'll be part of history. LOL!
