I have been meaning to join in with Priscilla’s Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge since the first week. Better late than never, here’s my first entry into the Midnight Madness challenges, and may there be many more!
I love the sketch for this week’s challenge, and the Design Team have done a fabulous job with their creations. Well done ladies! If like me, you have yet to join in, get your skates on, the challenge ends on Tuesday, and your entry means you will be entered into a drawing on the 1st July (you can submit one entry in each week’s challenges between now and then).
Here is my entry, hope you like it!
This Gorjuss image has been coloured with Copic Markers, and as usual the list is at the end of this post.
Inside I wanted to add a little extra detail, so I stamped the image again and cut out the teddy bear, and popped him on foam pads on an airbrushed background. On his own he looked a little small and sad, so I hunted through my stash and found a plain white padded fabric heart. I airbrushed the heart with my Copic markers, and attached a piece of silver elastic cord to turn it into a balloon.
The charm I’ve used is available over at Quixotic Paperie – here. The heart shaped buttons were in one of the shaped button bags – these have a lovely selection of different buttons, no two bags are exactly the same. Be quick and buy some, before I use them all up!
Both the charm and buttons have been attached using a silver elastic cord, which will be available at Quixotic Paperie early next week.
Thank you again for all your lovely comments recently, I will get round to all your blogs over the next few days!
