Fun Sketch Saturday #550 - Thessa from Leann's World 101

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hey all! It is that time again to have some fun with a sketch challenge from the Sketch Saturday team! I had a lot of fun with this sketch! I really hope that you will like it as well.

The sketch is super easy to follow. I however, changed the oval part to just be the image itself. The image was to cute to pass up using! The image Thessais from this weeks sponsor Leann's World 101. I love her artwork!

Sponsor: LeAnn’s World 101

Prize: 2 digis

I think that is an awesome prize! Well I would be happy for just one... haha! I am kind of like Charlie from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory "just happy to be here" haha! The image I am using is called Thessa.

I used some of Ken Oliver's Color Bursts to do a watercolor wash on some of Rubbernecker Stamps Watercolor Paper. I tried to get the blue as close to Thessa as I possibly could. The color came out beautifully!

After getting the watercolor onto the watercolor paper, I heat dried it really fast with my heat tool. I couldn't wait for it to dry on it's own because I really wanted to use my Rubbernecker Stamps Frame with Curves & Pierce die cut. I thought it would look really neat to put this fishy patterned paper behind the die cut and pull a couple of panels out. I really honestly wasn't sure about pulling the panels out but after asking my whole family and my best friend... it was pull a couple panels out haha!

I was even lucky enough to have some beautiful sequins on hand that matched the colors I was using too. I really like how her hair came out. You can see here now nice she prints out so it is easy to cut her out even without a die cut.



The blue ... well I am not sure what to call it. The paper is a thick plastic kind of but still thin like patterned paper. It also looks as if it has a blue oil slick on it. It is perfect for bubbles, water that kind of stuff. I wanted to use that as the rectangle piece for the sketch.

The banner however I needed to be longer, but the banner die cuts I have are shorter. So what I did was I just ran the banner through but when I got about 1/4 inch away from the end part I stopped and turned the die around and then did the same thing. It made it longer without cutting.

I decided to make the card into a birthday card since I have some birthday's coming up that I need to send cards out for. The sentiment Cheers is from the Ranger Birthday Letter It Collection. These stamp sets are super fun!

The Copic markers I used are:

• Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11, 21, 93, R20


• Hair & Tail: BG10, 11, 13, 15


• Scales: R83, V04, RV23
