For today's sketch challenge, I used another UFO (Lydia's term for unfinished object) which was created using the oxidized shaving cream technique. I listed all of green reinkers because I think I may have used them all, but not sure. I stamped the froggy and flies images in black ink and colored them in with pencils. I added a litttle wink of stella to the flies bodies to give them a little iridescence. When I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto the vellum, I tried brushing off the loose bits before heating but missed some. I used the sand portion of my eraser to gently remove some of the heat embossed speckles. It worked! Wow! Did anybody know this? So cool, hope you try it if you ever have to. The remaining layers are self explanatory, dry embossing and bg stamping.

Terrific take on the sketch. The background is awesome for this happy frog & flies. I like how you used the velum for the strip across and the sentiment. Clever tip using the eraser. Great card! TFS
