Good Morning! I hope y’all have had a nice holiday weekend. Let’s get right to the JBWW Challenge today. Last week we had a request for a sketch. So, since it is my week to host the challenge, I came up with a sketch for you. Please remember to post a link of your finished card here or on Jeanne’s blog, Inky Paws, and if you upload to your SCS Gallery, please use keyword JBWW.

I’ve posted a sample below. If you are a Splitcoast Fan Club Member, you will be able to see the first card that I did with this sketch here. I thought it would be fun to try this sketch again, and to see what your interpretations would be.

I decided to use a stamp from Rubbernecker today. We have anticipated the opening of Rubbernecker’s new site all weekend, and are just as anxious for the site to open as you are. The Design Team has been waiting in the wings and are so anxious to show you what they’ve been working on. The image was stamped on Georgia Pacific white cardstock and colored with Copic Markers. It’s very hard to tell the photo, but the stars on the ladies scarf, the dots on her hat and the man’s bow tie and buttons are colored with a gold Spica maker. The snowflakes have been highlighted with a Sakura Stardust pen. The edges of the image and the sentiment were sponged with Old Paper distress ink and then highlighted with Walnut Stain distress ink. The edges of the background panels, BasicGrey Figgy, were sponged with the Walnut Stain distress ink and then sewn to a panel of River Rock. The circle was cut out using a Coluzzle and the edges were distressed. To make the edges curl more, I sprayed with paper with water, and then took my scissors to scrape along the edges. Before the edges dried, I curled the distressed area with my fingers, working the paper in toward the middle. Once the circle was completely dry, the edges were sponged with Walnut Stain distress in. This panel was then sewn to the background panel. Once I had finished assembling the card, I added Tulip White Puffy Paint for the snow, and used my heat gun to make it puff up.
