SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge January 2009

Did you know it's national handwriting day? 

I love writing. Ok, not like writing books, but I wish I could.  

It's writing, like pick up a pen, some cute stationary and write a letter. When was the last time you did that? I do that weekly, sometimes several times a week.  I have this thing for fountain pens.  I have a nice little collection and I love to write with them.  I have several pen-pals, some who are friends that like making cards and some are friends that love fountain pens. But either way I love sending and getting mail.  So happy handwriting day.  #writeme and if you do I will be sure to write you back! 

Today I decided to play along with the SugarPea designs Mix It Up Challenge.  

I chose to use the sketch portion of the challenge.  

I pulled out this cute little gopher and colored it with copic markers.  

I layered it on paper that I used to represent the lines in the sketch. 

I used the copic blending solution on a cloth and dabbed over the soil and fur to add texture.  

And as you can see this cute little gopher is digging up some pretty red gems for his sweetheart.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!
