Good Sunday Morning. Wow I'm in spring mode already and we're still in autumn. We have to work way ahead for Operation Write Home cards because we need time to get the cards to our deployed heroes so they can have time to get them back to their loved ones stateside. Sunday's mean Sketch Challenge over at Stars and Stamps. So here is my take on that sketch. I've used the digital tulip image from Sweet N Sassy stamps found here. I colored the image with Copics markers and added a two tone bow. I used pink satin ribbon from SU and colored part of it with one of the same Copic markers that I used for my flowers. The designer paper is from my stash and has to be 7 or 8 years old. The sentiment is from SU also. That's going to be it for me today. It looks like it's shaping up to be a beautiful day here, so I'm going to try to get outside for a while. I hope you have a good day where ever you are. Thank you for stopping by. See you tomorrow.
I love the look of old gas pumps. I would love to see a blog about that. What a cute card. That will keep the winter blues away. I like the reverse rounded corners you used to give it a detailed frame.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Donna! You use copics so well, something I'm still working at but can't seem to get as far as shading. Love the DSP.
ReplyDeleteOh, very pretty! I love how image is colored and the 2-tone ribbon is perfect with it! It looks so neat and tidy, in a good way!
ReplyDeleteYou did a nice job shading those tulips and the ribbon matches great!!
ReplyDeleteI love your tip on coloring the ribbon. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Donna! Love how you colored the ribbon!

Great take on the sketch, Donna! I have to get back to making OWH cards. This is a great inspiration. It seems like once I mailed my last box, my time has been dedicated to doing family Thanksgiving and Christmas cards plus DT commitments. Maybe in a couple more weeks I can start on OWH again. :-D
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card! It immediately makes me thing of SPRING and I know it won't be long, before I will be dreaming of Spring days with lots of warm sun and new flowers growing in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your wonderful comments and kind words! I have LOVED every minute of Boot Camp and can't wait to be back there tomorrow! It's been a joy to get so many cards one and I really LOVE everything we learn.
Happy Sunday and thanks for making me thing SPRING!!! :)
Hi Donna, what a cute card! Thanks for the tip about coloring the ribbon with Copics. I think I am going to have to buy some one of these days. I really like the sentiment with the two flowers. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the tulips and the sentiment is so perfect! I really like when sentiments match the subject matter - great job!
ReplyDeleteAwwwhhh! Sweet card! Love the corners and ribbon! TFS!!!
