Friday Sketcher

Another card I started last night and finished this morning. I used the sketch from Friday Sketcher, but felt that the top left and bottom right corners were bare - solved the problem this morning!


I coloured my image using promarkers. Its the first time I have done black hair ... not too bad. I inked the edges of my cardstock and image. I faux stitched the dp using a white gel pen, and added punched flowers. I made some paper beads using scraps of dp and added a charm. I finally inked up part of my Lavinia stamp and stamped the blossom in the top left and bottom right corners.

Ellie now has a ready bed ... she is watching Nick Jr lying on it (its not pumped up but she doesn't seem to care!!). We are off to friends' later so I am going to stamp up some images so I can colour them in while we are there.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Sugar Nellie Flower Girl; Lavinia stamps blossom branch
Colouring Media: Promarkers
Papers: Basic Grey Wisteria
Embellishments: punched flowers, paper beads, charm, ribbon and gems from stash
