Let's Get Sketchy ~ Whimsical Wednesdays

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means!  Time for a new Whimsical Wednesdays challenge!  I'm a bit annoyed with myself right now.  I just realized I haven't posted anything since last Wednesday's challenge.  Where does the time go?  Guess I'll just have to make up for it this week.  We have a doubly delightful challenge this week...first of all, we have a fabulous sponsor, Stamp Fairy, and secondly, we have a sketch designed by our very own Whimsical Designer, Nanne.  I thought I would struggle with the sketch...the snowman was throwing me off, but this card came together with such ease.  I chose the Monsters Under My Bed 2 digi image from Stamp Fairy, with my husband in mind. LOL!!!  I wanted to try something new and thought it would be fun to color him up -- the monster, not my hubby (although that could be fun, I suppose) in a childlike coloring technique.  I think I like the way it turned out. 

Here is Nanne's sketch:

 

The heart is from the Cricut Beyond Birthdays cartridge (I think) and I painted it with Crackle Paint.  I took these photos on Monday night just after I finished the card and the paint hadn't dried yet.  I haven't been home since, so when i get home tonight I will take new photos to show the actual crackle in the paint.  The hearts are several different punches (Marvy, I believe) and I added Crackle Accents to them.  Again, new photos will be posted tonight.  I used Core'dinations paper for the background and embossed it with a folder from the Cuttlebug Mini Monsters set, I think?  Sorry for all of the uncertainty.  I'm not home and can't remember which set I used.  The brain cells are fizzing out as I get older.  Then I sanded it to expose the core paper.   I used my Nesties to mat the image and added some green bling.  The sentiment is one of my favorites.  I wasn't familiar with this quote until Stephanie told me about it and I think I will be using it a lot.  You're My Person is from the Whimsical Fun Vol. 1 set.  Don't ya just love it?
