A Pair of Skates - Sketch Frenzy Friday

My the weeks are going by fast!!.  August is gone - September is here and so is school and back to work.  The remnants of Isaac created a very wet start to the school day.  But, the rain was much needed so I'm not really complaining.
So, today it's Friday, and time for another mini blog hop with Sketch Frenzy Friday. Hope you can join us.
Today's sketch is by Deb Currier


09/07/12 Deb Currier 

Technique:   
The card base is Riding Hood Red, layered with Whisper White.
On the Whisper White layer, the image of the skates was stamped with Black Stazon and colored with markers and SU markers.  The intent was to create a vintage feel.
Some cherry cobbler dazzling details was applied to the berries .
A small star was punched using the tiny star punch - to hide a mistake in stamping.  Embellishments are really good at doing that.
The scalloped glimmer red was die cut using the Tasteful trim die.

Stamp: Winter Memories
Inks: Black Stazon, SU markers
Papers: Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Red Glimmer Paper
Accessories: Tasteful trim die, Tiny star punch, Aqua painter

Now its your turn to create something using Deb's sketch.  When finished, upload it to the Sketch Frenzy Friday home page here
Then take some time to visit the blogs of the other team members to see their interpretation of the sketch.  
Your next stop on the tour is Patrice's blog here  She usually has something interesting to show you.

Stay well, and I'll see you next week.

Oh my goodness cute! What a cleaver idea to use the skates and to make a Christmas card from with it! Your coloring of the skates is perfect too. Nicely done My Friend!
