Happy Friday to you! It’s time for another Sweet ‘n Sassy Digi Challenge!

This week’s theme is Flag, You’re It!.  I’ve made a fall-themed card featuring the adorable Cocoa Mouse.   I printed out the image three times.  I added a couple rows of hand stitching to the one I planned to use as my focal panel.  I used my favorite watercoloring technique to color the leaf on one of the other two images, and Copics to color Cocoa’s head and paw on the other, and then fussy cut those parts.  (I did color and attempt to cut out Cocoa’s tail, but that proved to be TOO fussy.) Cocoa’s tail and the stem of the leaf were colored on the focal panel.  When I printed the images, I also printed the sentiment, which I created myself in Microsoft Word.  Sweet ‘n Sassy’s banner die was used to cut it to the banner shape, and I attached it to a narrow strip of cardstock to create a flag.  I’m imagining that Cocoa’s other paw is holding it, but you can’t see that because it’s hidden behind the leaf.  🙂  Finally I attached the leaf to the panel, and then used dimensional adhesive to put Cocoa’s head in place.  Then I assembled the card following this week’s Splitcoaststampers.com sketch challenge for the layout.

The rest of the design team and I hope you’ll join us this week! Simply create a card, using a digital image for the focal point, and add in a flag or a banner of some sort. Link your card at the Sweet ‘n Sassy Digi Challenge site. Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps digital images aren’t required, but we do love when you use those (and you get the chance for perks if you do – see the Digi Challenge site for more details!).
