Merry Monday Peaceful Wishes

The Merry Monday challenge this week is a sketch challenge.  This is actually the second card I did for this challenge.  I was inspired by this card by Sue who was the Featured Stamper at SCS last week.

Here's the sketch that Lesley gave us to work with.

I used the thumping technique on the pine bough inking first with Old Olive and then "thumping" the Always Artichoke marker on the stamp before stamping.

And here's the first card I did.  After 2 tries, I still wasn't really happy with it.  But I thought I'd share it anyway.

I colored the stamp with markers.  Here's a close up.  Don't laugh too hard.

Somehow it seemed like there were too many legs for those camels and I had a hard time deciding which legs went with which camel.  A good reason to use this as a silhouette.  I'd wanted to try this since I got the stamp.  I'm over it now.

Be sure to check out the rest of the design team cards.
