Happy Friday morning! I just got back from a week of vacation but I think my mojo is still on vacation! This is what I finally came up with for the Weekend Sketch Challenge #88 hosted by Jenn today. You can find the sketch and her sample at her blog this morning. Be sure to check out the other samples made for this sketch by Beate, Charmaine and Lori ... wonderful weekend eye candy for sure!
I needed a birthday card and thought birthday pie might be a nice change of pace ... what do you think?!! Yummm ... warm summer cherry pie, you just can't beat it! This stamp, of course, is from fun & whimsical Karen Lockhart.
I stamped the Berry Pie Shoe with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Natural White cardstock and then colored it with Copic markers R22, R27, R29, E50, E31, E33, E35 and shadowed with W1 and that brand new W00. The also-new Y0000 was used to give a soft yellow glow around the shoe ... I'm finding these new lighter Copic colors are wonderful for giving a soft airbrushed quality to my backgrounds. Then I cut and matted the image with Spellbinders Labels One dies.
Papers are from BasicGrey's new June Bug 6x6 collection, which I see are currently in stock at Ellen Hutson LLC and eclectic Paperie. Some red Stampin' Up wide grosgrain ribbon, Prima flower & button finish off this 4.25" square card.
I hope you'll play along in the sketch with us this weekend!
Oh I LOVE this, Sharon! What a neat image. . .love it! Have a wonderful weekend, sweet friend!
