Hello Sunshine!

Hello everyone! What a week this is turning out to be so far! YUK! Weather has been totally crappy! So, to cheer myself up I made this!

Stamps are from Gina K Designs - it's the stamp TV kit this month. Love it! I got the new clear set of stamps instead of the rubber and I'm in love with them! Two thumbs way up for Gina going to clear stamps!

Colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a Atyou spica yellow pen for the sun and the clouds have a little stardust in them.

Blue cardstock is from Hot Off The Press and the red designer paper and ribbon came from the stamp TV kit.

They say that the sun is suppose to be out on Thursday, which is the first day of summer. Yea! Too bad it won't stay around long, though!

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping in!

Card Sketch Tuesday #154

Happy Tuesday all! Here's sketch #154, measuring the nomral A2 size.

Here is my example.



The circle (Nestie) is 2 5/8 and then layered with another one at 2 3/4. The blue rectangle panel is 2 3/4 x 3 1/2 and the white rectangle is 2 1/2 x 3 1/4. I did add a layer of designer paper to the card base which measures 5 1/4 x 4.

I colored the girl with Copic Ciao Markers and then tried to add some shading by her feet to anchor her down. It didn't look good at all - so I ended up cutting her out and popping her up using foam tape. I cut out an oval and used that to reverse mask the white layer sponging Summer Sky ink from Memento around it - and then I just took it out to the corners from there.

I used some Atyou Spica pens to add some sparkle to the star, flame on the candle and her wings, but it does not show up all the well. I used a lemon and a clear one, but you can hardly even see it IRL. I know that these Spica pens are all the rage right now, but I have to say that I prefer the stardust pens for adding a bit of glitter and/or bling to my projects. I added some light blue Rhinestones to the circle to give it a bit more bling, since the Spica pens didn't work! LOL! BTW, I got the idea for this sketch as I was shutting off the lights downstairs to go to bed. The porch light was shining in my front door, which has that half moon leaded glass at the top. A light bulb went on - it's it funny how normal things can be a source of inspiration for us crafters?


Have a great week and thanks for stopping by! Check in next Monday when a few of us Angels will be participating in a Holiday cards/tags in 10 minutes or less blog hop! You're sure to get some great ideas for those last minute projects!
