I got this cute little stamp called Little Carolers by The Artful Stamper at the company's booth at the Stamp show at the end of January. This is the first time I've used it, so this qualifies for Darnell's "never-before-used schtuff" challenge, also referred to as NBUS. The sketch is the current one at Sketch Saturday.The image is colored with pencils, and the edges of the top panel are specked with distress ink. The brown strip is embossed with the Cuttlebug folder that shows a musical score, then sanded down to reveal the white core. I got the cute little musical notes die at the same stamp show I got the carolers.
I'm entering these challenges:
Sketch Saturday: Sketch 353Rudolph Days March -- Christmas card
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #221--Christmas singing
NBUS#4 -- Stamp never used before
Crafty Sentiments -- Inspired by a song (Deck the Halls)

ReplyDeleteI love your take on the sketch, Sandy, and great job coloring. Those sweet carolers are grounded by the bit of sprinkles which really ties in with the musical bg!! I love the cut-out music that they are belting out for all their worth!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #4!! Hugs, Darnell

I like the speckles. They really add a touch of a vintage feel to this, like you would get from an old caroling book that you only break out at Christmastime.
