Today’s Diva Coffee Break Design Challenge is another sketch. I had fun playing with this one! I turned the sketch a couple different ways to try things out, but ended up liking it the best in the original format. I also tried a couple different sets, but ended up with Mr. Twigster! I just think he is the cutest little snowman. I’m making my Christmas tags this year with him, too!
For the base, I started with Tangerine Tango and then a layer of Chocolate Chip (do you know how much Chocolate Chip I’ve gone thru this catalog? A lot of our designer papers have that color in it!) I then added a section of the mitten print from Frost Day Designer Paper and a coordinating dotted strip of DSP in that same package. I wrapped some Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon around that (if you haven’t tried this ribbon, you don’t know what you are missing! It ties SO nice and has such a shimmery look!) I colored in Mr. Twigster and his packages with Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango and Bashful Blue, along with his striped scarf and nose. Then I grounded him with some Bashful Blue at his feet and shadows on his body. Finally, I added some two-way glue and Dazzling Diamonds to make him sparkle! The Olive mini brads across the top finish off the card.
Make sure to check out all the other talented Diva Coffee Break Designers’ creations this week!

November 26, 2008 at 12:52 pmVery nice card, Connie. I am learning so much from you and everyone else. I know when we first started I thought the card had to be exactly like the sketch. Now I know that as long as we have the basic sketch we can adlib (spelling may be wrong) some.
