Hello there! It’s sketch challenge time at CAS Colours & Sketches. This is a fun little sketch that can allow you to use up a few scraps – because goodness knows we all have scraps of cardstock and designer papers!
I shopped around a few other challenge blogs to help give me ideas for today’s card. AAA Cards is celebrating their 10th birthday – congratulations, y’all! – with a theme of, of course, birthdays. The Paper Players is looking for cards that are clean and simple and that are humorous or punny. Those led me to revisiting this cute otter image and related punny sentiment. I stamped the otter on a scrap of white cardstock and colored him with Copics. I wasn’t in the mood to fussy cut around his whiskers, so I planned to draw them extending out from the sides of his face after I attached him to the watery-look designer paper – but then I forgot until after I took the photo. Ooops. So, he’s a short whiskered otter.
What will you create with this sketch? We’d love to see! You can link your card at the CC&S site until 6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. Time Monday, June 3, 2024. Thanks for stopping by today! Comments are always welcome and appreciated.
