The Blog that Spike Built

Many a time, I wanted to work with something in particular and then I could have the luxury of flipping through the sheets of SCS sketches to see what would fit the image the best. But I suspect that as I go, it will get to the point where I will have to work with the sketch and figure out what to fit with it if I want to eventually complete all of them! Does that make sense? LOL
In this case I wanted to work with Changito the snow shovelling Monkey and found that sketch 73 would work with it perfectly!

And here’s a snow shovelling Monkey…boy could I use one right now!

I love how after stamping with VersaMark and then clear embossing on Bazzill cardstock, it comes out darker as if I had stamped it with a darker blue. On the piece of cardstock around the image, I had painted shimmerz on it so the piece looks like Bazzill bling! The stars are outlined with the Sakura clear stardust pen and the snow is painted with Shimmerz. I don’t think there was anything else on him that’s kinda tricky! If there looks like there is, just ask!

Card Composition:
Paper – Bazzill, Heidi Grace (Fiskars)
Stamp – Changito Shoveling Monkey (Stampendious), Snowflakes (Inkadinkado)
Ink – Not Quite Navy (SU!), VersaMark (Tsuenko), Bics
