TCP TUESDAY #35 - SKETCH CHALLENGE

It's Tuesday before Turkey Day!  I love Turkey Day...I love Turkey.  Who wouldn't love Turkey!?!  And...here's your TCP Tuesday Challenge.  It's Sketch Challenge time again.  I'm your hostess this week so you'll be posting your version of the sketch here on my blog.  Grab your Cat's Pajamas stamps and get to work.  If you're posting at Splitcoast, use keyword TCPTUES35.

The sketch this time is based on the front of a little gift back that was created by Susan Liles.  (She's so creative and fun!)  There are lots of little scallop-y elements.  Remember that you can flip the sketch to the horizontal direction or just flip the elements from top to bottom...those are just a few ideas...I'm sure you'll come up with tons of them on your own.

My card uses the FAIRY CHRISTMAS set.  I love this little fairy gals!  I used patterned paper from a K&Company pad that I found at Michael's.  I really like the upbeat colors and textures in the pad.  Just so you know that I too make huge coloring mistakes when I'm creating, my little fairy was originally on a rectangle of white paper.  I liked the way she turned out but her background, the paper piercing and the drawing of some stitch lines really screwed it up.  I didn't want to scrap her altogether so I cut her out and popped her up.  Still very festive and colorful!

Supplies:  Stamps - Fairy Christmas Clearly Swanky stamp set by The Cat's Pajamas; Paper - Sky Blue, Red, Pink by SU!, Papertrey White, K& Compamy patterned papers; Ink - Tuxedo Black Memento ink, Onyx Black Versafine; Other - Copic Markers, Nestabilities dies, Sakura Clear Stardust Glitter pen, Papertrey ribbon, MME button, SU! Scalloped Edge punch, 1/16" paper punch

Edit - I forgot to mention the cut off for entries for this challenge - Saturday, Nov. 29th at midnight.  Sorry about that.  I forgot to mention the whole Swanky Stamper and Cat's Cash part too.  Must have been outta my mind last Tuesday.....eeek!  Thanks to all who stamped the sketch this week...WOW! Great cards.  I've now CLOSED the comments for this post.
