Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!
It is time for a new challenge over at
This week's challenge is...
Inks, Paints, Markers
So I played along with one of my favorite sketch challenges....
And here is the birthday card I made....
I know I love playing with my copic markers, and trying to blend and color to look better and better each time I color. So for my inspiration project I used the adorable image from By Lori Designs~Birthday Owen. I pulled him into my silhouette designer studio, sized him to what I wanted and then added a border around him, just to give him some extra detail around the image (plus the balloon strings are too thin to cut and I wanted to pop him up on my card base). Once he was cut and colored, I added some stickles to his balloons and then put him aside to work on the rest of my card.

As also I used a Brown Kraft Cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and then my pattern paper from Basic Grey~Bowties paper pack. I knew the design I was following~the sketch as pictured above~ but I wanted to further add some embellishments so I went ahead and used some White Twill Tape and colored them with the matching copic colors. Then to attach them to my card mat, I used probably one of my all time favorite embellishments~ the Custom Fasteners and just added more stickles to the centers.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!
