For today's sketch challenge I thought I'd break into my best ever simply scrappin kit.
The stamp was a hand me down from somebody named sharon (her name is on the end of it lol) who apparently didnt want it anymore so gave it to someone who gave it to someone who gave it, eventually, to me. So I dont know where it came from but it does say "Art Impressions" on it.
I colored the image with prismacolor pencils before embossing it and using an aquapainter to create the dark background.
To make the sentiment I used a set of alphabet stamps I bought at Michaels (sorry not sure brand) with versamark before clear embossing and going over it with an aquapainter.
TFL!!!
