This week's sketch at
Freshly Made Sketches is going to find a permanent home in my sketch rotation when making cards! I rarely join sketch challenges because of the struggle session I almost always have to go through when getting what I see in my head to fit into the sketch! I do however, use sketches all of the time and I sincerely appreciate the talented designers who come up with their ideas for us all. I decided to join this week's challenge because I knew immediately what I wanted to do by using my, as yet never touched, Stampin Up! Simply Zinnias stamp set. I added an old favorite sentiment from Hero Arts along with patterned paper from a DCWV paper pad called Bright Papers, separating the colored and white layers with a strip of SU! Garden Green cardstock. I want to add that I colored the images with my Copics and my biggest struggle with this card was to get some light and dark areas with my RV17 and RV19 markers! I added some RV25 and RV04 to bleach out some of the darker areas I didn't want on the outer edges of the flower.
Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope your day is sunny and beautiful. We are having a very gray day here after having a nice spell of warm weather, so more card making is on the agenda!
