Brighten Your Day!

Hey, everyone!

I have been trying to take on more challenges this year as I create cards and projects. It is a lot of fun for me to check out various blogs and find so many new things to try. I have found that when looking for a new card idea, I have been more drawn to sketches (no pun intended) and when the measurements are right there for me it's a no-brainer! I love that!!! It makes it so much more fun to craft when I am not guessing at what size something should be. You have to check out this wonderful sketch I found on Laurie Unger's blog HERE. The card she made is absolutely FABULOUS! She makes the most stunning cards ever! Don't you love that sketch and how easy she made it for us? Here is the card I created for my BFF:

This card is for some encouragement and love for my dear friend Heather. She and I are joining Weight Watchers together this year and I am really glad she is going to help me. I will do my best to support and encourage her, as well. Of course I just had to use this adorable little image from The Angel Company! You can find out more HERE if you want to see the whole stamp set and learn how you can purchase it!
Here is a closer look at the shimmery cardstock I used on the card and my satin bow! I paper pieced this whole image except for the skin. I colored her skin with my Copic markers E00. Her hair is paper pieced from cardstock. Her shimmery shirt and shoes are the same as the cardstock behind the main image. I used the striped paper to create hair bows and her pants. I used my R02 Copic marker to create her rosey cheeks and added a white dot on each eye with my signo white gel pen! The pink hearts are stamped with Belle Rose palette hybrid ink and it's from the retired Sweet As Pie stamp set. I told you I love this set!!! Leave me a comment with a link to your projects. I'd love to see what you come up with using Laurie's sketch!
