[3.6.2016] Assemble This! Sketch No. 2

Assemble This! Sketch No. 2

Ok, so were did February go?  I did not intend to go so long before the next sketch.  Yikes, the whole month got away from me.  So let’s kick March off with a bang and a sketch.

This sketch is so full of possibility.  I’m just giving you the basic layers.  That big, white open box could be filled with so much or nothing at all.  That intrigues me with what you come up with.  You have free reign on sentiment placement.  It could be in that box, below the layers, popped up in tag or some amazing die cut.  It would be interesting to flip on its side too.  Hmmmm, I may have to play with this one again.  Lol.

I went pretty straight forward and filled that box with stamped images.  I had this adorable fox to play with.  He is stamped on watercolor paper and then I used my basic watercolor set to color him in.  At the end, I decided to go over him with a black pen to help the details of the stamp pop.  The texture of the watercolor paper muted the outline.

Ready to see this sketch in action.  Here is the Assemble This! video, you can also watch it on YouTube HERE as well. I’m keeping them short and sweet and under 2 minutes.  No jibber jabber, just creativity in action.  Hope you enjoy.

If you are interested in watching me watercolor, this is my process on how I colored the stamped image as well. It is much longer, but coloring takes a long time and it is hard to edit down.  You can also watch it on YouTube HERE as well.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ll be inspired to Assemble This Sketch too!  I decided to bring the link up back. I’d love for you to share with me if you use the sketch and if you want to visit each other too.  That would be fun.  I’ll close the link up at the end of the month so we can get prepared for a new one in April.
