Recently a customer asked if I would help her with some Sponge Bob invitations for her grandchild’s birthday.  She specifically wanted it to be a pop up similar to this one found on Splitcoaststampers.  Well, the pop up part is easy (really, it is!  there’s even a tutorial on SCS for it!) but figuring out the right parts for Sponge Bob took a little time (but actually not as much as I thought it would!).  I looked at some images of Sponge Bob on Nick.com and decided his nose is more of an oval and they have it very defined, hence I decided to outline it with the Basic Black marker.  And also I noticed on the "real" Sponge Bob there are red dots on his cheeks with a half circle drawn more often than not, so I did that too.  Here’s what I came up with and I hope she likes it!  To make him look more spongey it could use a little dry embossing of some circles or perhaps some tone on tone stamping of circles on the Yo Yo Yellow card stock would do the trick.  But other than that I don’t think it’s too shabby! 

Now, I need to go get this invitation and an invitation all in pieces with dimensions for her to follow in an envelope before my kids see this and want one!  No Sponge Bob here!!  LOL
