Give Me the Candy!

Kim is our host for this week's Paper Craft Planet sketch challenge. I played along using an image from the new DoodleFactory Costume Party stamp set from Starving Artistamps.

I stamped the cowboy image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added some silver gel pen accents to the cowboy's buttons and stars. I used my colorless blender pen to make the contrasting white stripes on the cowboy's bandana.

The panels behind the cowboy are squares cut from a piece of Memory Box patterned paper. They're layered on red mats to set them off from the caramel card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Witch's Brew set beneath the 4 squares in slightly darker brown ink. I added a red felt star, embellished with a star brad, as a simple accent for the sentiment.
