This is it--the last CPS Sketch of 2009! We were asked to chose one of our favorite sketches from the past 147. I chose Sketch 125 to pair with a JustRite Stampers Christmas Joy Borders and Centers Oval, along with the 1-3/4" x 2-5/16" Small Oval Wooden Stamper.
I stamped the border and center in Versamark ink on watercolor paper and heat embossed with Filigree Detail Gold Embossing Powder. Then I watercolored the image with a waterbrush and watercolor crayons. (Okay, I confess: when it dried, it looked a bit washed out, so I used my Copic markers to add a tiny bit of depth on top of the watercolor.)
I cut and embossed the image with a Spellbinders Classic Oval Nestability and then edged it with a gold metallic paint pen. Papers are Comfort and Celebrate from the My Mind's Eye Coastal Laundry Line Collection. Ribbon is May Arts Ivory Silk, and cardstock is PaperTrey Ink Gold Shimmer and Vintage Cream.
Thank you so much for the sweet wishes over the past few days! We enjoyed family time this Christmas, and I hope that you were able to do so too. Blessings!
