Cool Sketch...

Another for today's sketch challenge! I found this stamp, on sale, at Michaels...my first Snoopy stamp!!

Isn't he cool?!! The patterned paper was from a slab of pet paper I found at Walmart...it is what is left of a 12x12 piece...it was part of a disastrous project that had to be torn apart and put out of my mind and its misery!!! Don't you hate it when that happens...really puts a damper on your day...it does for me anyway...
I colored Joe (Snoopy) with watercolor pencils...I usually dip my brush in water and rub it along the side of the pencil tip rather than coloring and then adding water...I find that doing it this way, I don't have pencil lines and actually control my color better. He is standing on an oval that I stamped using a foam stamp...I really want one of those and when I found this cheapie one I figured I was all set but it is a little too big and being foam, it doesn't give the clean coverage I would prefer...sounds like I might need to check out Inky Antics...they have great images and ovals!!! I love my turtle...I'll have to bring him out of hiding again soon!
The card itself is stamped in close to cocoa with Canvas (SU!)...the "dog tags" are the key tags you find at the local office supply store...just took the ring out and added my grosgrain ribbon and brad. The tags are popped on leftover stamp rubber. I doodled lines around the outside edges of everything and added highlights on his glasses and nose with my Stardust pen...I love that thing! Could that take the place of jewels on my cards??? Probably not!!!

Thanks for checking in...
See you soon...
