Hello everyone!! I’m here with CS Take It Make It: Take a Technique Challenge for our August.

Our theme is Take a Technique!

This months challenge is going to be super fun!!  Its all about Pens and Pencils!

This means using your pens and pencils on your projects!! You could draw or sketch a design, or use your pens and pencils for coloring.  Copics, Distress Markers, Spectrum Noirs, Watercolor Pencils, Paint Pens, and markers, whatever floats your boat!!  You could add detail with fine liner pens, gel pens or smudgy Stabilo pencil…..the only limit is your imagination!! Remember there, MUST be real stamping on your projects.  Digital images CAN be used, but must be used alongside rubber/acrylic stamping!

Take a look at my card:

I used Mama Elephant Three Amigos stamp set to stamp and die cut my little raccoon.

I used my Copic Markers: W1, W3, W5  to color the raccoon.

I used My Favorite Things Peek-a-Boo Circle Window Die  to cut a window out of my card panel.

I added a piece of Stampin Up! Cherry On Top DSP behind the scallop circle die cut.

I adhered the card panel to my card base with fun foam.

I added the cut out skunk to the card base with Stampin’ Up! dimensional and adhered it to the card front.

Nice and easy!!

Now its your turn to play along with us.

We have a great prize pack for you.

We have two prizes to offer this month, the first is our sponsor prize. This winner will be chosen randomly from all of the entries in the challenge! The sponsor for August is: Chocolate Baroque.
