Happy Friday, All! Sorry I'm running a bit late with my sketch challenge today -- we had first grade graduation and awards this morning. (Sigh), they grow up too quick, don't they? And it seems my camera is in need of a cleaning, as I've been spending way too much time Photoshopping out a bunch of little random dots on my photos -- ugh! So anyway, here we are, finally . . .
I needed my 6-inch June calendar, and this lovely new October Afternoon Cherry Hill paper arrived in my mailbox just yesterday, so that was totally the inspiration for me today. Isn't it yummy?!! I thought Karen Lockhart's Itty Bitty Cherries would be a perfect accent, so I stamped them onto white cardstock, punched them out and adhered them to Inchie Arts Black Inchie Squares -- that set the tone for my black accents.
The cherries were colored with these Copic markers: R332, R35, R37, YG03, YG17 and accented with my custom lighter BG000, to match the cherry paper.
Speaking of those Copics, be sure to enter my Copic giveaway two posts below this one (Thursday's) ... The Copic Designers are helping Marianne Walker (Copic's Product Specialist) celebrate her one year of blogging! You have until tomorrow at 11:59pm to enter for the chance to win.
I hope you'll try this Weekend Sketch Challenge, it's hosted today by Lori ... you can find the sketch and her sample over at her blog this morning. And I hope you'll check in on these ladies' blogs, to see what they've created for you today, too: Cami, Charmaine and Jenn.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
