I'm guest hosting the sketch challenge here on SCS today, which is super exciting! I drew this sketch with this Cocoa image in mind - isn't he darling? I love that I can use any of the sentiments in the set on the paper he's holding
For the purposes of sketch measurements: My circle and frame are Nestabilities, as is my square image panel. My long strip is 1" wide (the patterned paper) and the mat piece is 1/8" larger. On my card, my image panel is slightly more square than in the sketch I drew, so either way will work!
Supplies:
Stamps: Love From Cocoa (SNSS)
Card Stock: Black (Recollections), White (Neenah)
Patterned Paper: Olivia (Basic Grey)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Worn Lipstick (Ranger Distress)
Coloring Medium: Copics (N0, N2, C00, C5, R20, E50, E51, BG72, 0 Colorless Blender)
Accessories: Charcoal, Blossom Baker's Twine (The Twinery, available at SNSS)
Tools: Nestabilities (Spellbinders)

I agree with you that Cocoa is just the sweetest mouse! He looks cute whatever he's doing! This is a great sketch and a wonderful card! I like the button held with 2 different colored twines! Looks like Valentine's Day was on your mind......

Very cute, Taylor! The Olivia papers are perfect for this very versatile Cocoa set! I think I need to add this one to my wish list along with all the other Cocoa sets! LOL!

Cute Taylor and I'm with you on the Christmas card thing. Perfect coloring of Cocoa's ears. I asked Korin to do a video for me to help me color his ears and she did!
