We've Got a Sketch at The Challenge!

Good Morning and Happy Monday to You!

In case you missed it last week, big changes are happening over at The Challenge. We have gone to a weekly format and are mixing up the challenges- sketch, color, inspiration...you get the idea!  This week we have a sketch challenge for you~

So here you go; as you can see, I tweaked the sketch a bit to fit the idea in my head!

My poppy stamp is from Gina K. Designs and is colored with Copics.  I have been experimenting with background techniques lately, and using a background stamp, I colored it with a Copics, spritzed it with alcohol and stamped it around my masked image.  As luck would have it, there was some residual ink on the stamp from the previous use, and that sort of showed up.  However, I kind of liked the look so went with it.  I dabbed a bit more Copic color on using a paint brush and alcohol to give it a more mottled look and to make the colors more vibrant.
The white panel is embossed and has a bit of color added to the raised areas, with a Copic.  I used some Carta Bella dp, Simon Says Stamp sequins, ribbon from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, a die cut made with SB Leaves dies and finished off with a couple of small pearls placed in the center of the larger sequins.
I am linking up to Mod Squad Challenge- Tick Tack Toe; I used coloring, die cut and embossing as well as pearls, dimension and patterned paper.
