      I rarely used sketches when making cards until I discovered the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers (BYSHC) Challenge a few years ago.    

     All three of the cards on this post used BYSHC sketches. The first two cards feature this months sketch.

     This card features an adorable hound created by Beccy Muir, artist owner of Beccy’s Place.  Beccy names each of her digi characters, and she calls this one “Rawlins,” which sounds like a good fit for this laid back pooch! (I used the precolored version of Rawlins and added a bit more detailing with markers, a white colored pencil,  and my trusty white gel pen… to make it my own!!)

Supplies: 

·    Precolored Pup, Santa Hat and Sentiments are from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set that is no longer available (Business recently changed to clear stamps/wholesale only)

·    Additional shading and highlighting were added with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, a white pencil, and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·    Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

·    Patterned papers, other misc. items and tools from my stash.

Classic Design Challenge: Anything Goes #11-2025 Nov/Dec

   This card features Beccy’s fun-loving character named Stanley, who was the main character in eight digi sets with various themes. This Stanley was part of a “Santa Stanley” set, which is no longer available. However, Beccy does offer a free “Birthday Stanley” set that you can find HERE.) After picking patterned papers with a vintage vibe, I colored Stanley in dark, rich shades to match the papers. Scraps of the papers, plus a few additional strips of colored cardstock, helped me build my card around the sketch. Sentiments then completed the card!   

Supplies: 

·    Digi and Sentiments are from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set that is no longer available (Business recently changed to clear stamps/wholesale only)

·    Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·    Front Sentiment-Computer Generated

·    Patterned papers from a Hobby Lobby paper pack, and from my stash.

·    Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

·    All other misc. items and tools from my stash.
