So I spent some time tonight surfing around my regular challenge sites to see if I could come up with a color challenge that would go with this great sketch. There were quite a few that caught my eye and I hope I have time this weekend to make some cards for them, but for this card I decided on the Create With Connie and Mary challenge.
I was going to make another Christmas card, but honestly I think I'm tapped out. It feels like I've been making Christmas cards since July (I'm sure I haven't, it just feels like it), so I thought I'd make something that had no connection to any holiday or special event. I inked up one of the stamps from the retired Artfully Asian in black Stazon, then colored it with Lucky Limeade and Poppy Parade markers. The sentiment is from Fabulous Phrases. I finished it off with a Basic Gray button. I so wish that I had dropped the "smile" sentiment down a bit to give the button a bit more room, but I was too lazy to re-do it so this version stays.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a lovely comment. I really enjoy reading them!
