Hello


Today is one of those lovely days that I should probably be doing something other than sitting in the house, but sometimes a sketch just calls to be done. 


I used Stamping Bella’s uptown girl Charlotte loves to Shop for my focal image.  She is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black of course since I was going to color her using Copic markers.  Once she was colored up I cut her out using Lifestyle Crafts rectangles and then used the next size up to create the mat out of Gina K Ocean Mist cardstock.  After my image was cut out I could now add the little details to make her unique.  In her cup I used some white Liquid Applique to represent the whipped cream we all love.  Some glossy accents were placed on her glasses to give them a little shine.  I used the Sakura black glaze pen to deepen her eyes, the blue one was used to fill in the circles on one of her shopping bags; and a white gel pen was used to add bring out the stitching on her jeans.

The flags were created using paper from Lawn Fawn Beachside pint-sized patterns.  I used the Lawn Fawn circle die to cut both the mat and sentiment circle.  I placed some fun foam behind the whole panel and then placed it all on my card base.

I'm entering this card in:
