It's good to be back with you on a Friday morning with a sketch challenge! Using the Weekend Sketch Challenge #69 from Beate, I used Karen Lockhart's Rosebud Cupcake and bright & cheery October Afternoon Hometown papers from StarLitStudio.
The cupcake was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Gina K's Pure Luxury white cardstock. If you haven't tried this cardstock yet, you should! It's fabulous with your Copics and comes in two different weights -- Layering Weight (80 lb.) and Heavy Base Weight (120 lb. -- this is what I use). It's super smooth, your Copic colors blend effortlessly on it with no bleeding, and I love that the heavier weight makes such a sturdy one layer card base!
I colored the cupcake flowers with Copic BG45 & B39 (using the lighter BG45 to pick up color from B39); the filler is BG34; leaves and cupcake cup are YG17 & YG63. Once again the Copic Spica glitter is hard to capture, but Sky Blue was used to accent the flowers.
The zigzag white edges were made with Marvy's Paper Trimming Buddy and its Pinking rotary blade. Some wacky machine stitching accents the focal point, along with a tied Foof-a-La button from Taylored Expressions. The sentiment is also by Lockhart Stamp Company.
I hope you'll check out the other sketch samples made by Beate, Cami, Charmaine, Jenn, Laurie, Lori and Mary Jo -- I'm sure they'll knock your socks off and I love seeing how different everyone's cards are! Happy Friday to you ... I'll be back with a watercoloring tutorial for you tomorrow!
