I struggled ……

Morning peeps and hope you are all OK xxx

Well I have to confess that I struggled a bit with this card – not sure why really. I did the sketch ages ago and I remember thinking that I was pleased with it, but when I came to do it, the old mojo just went awol – what a pain!!!

Anyway, it’s the sketch for this week’s Papertake Weekly challenge which is sponsored by the one and only Simon Says Stamp

Photobucket

… so there’s a fab prize up for grabs. And I have to say that the DT did a brilliant job with the sketch cos the cards are just fabulous, and all so very different which I like :)

So, this …

sketch #52

… is the old sketchie, and this ….

… is what I did with it.

Please excuse the awful pics today peeps but the light here is practically non existent – grrrr!!!!

The cutesy Lili Of The Valley image (it’s from the Love & Romance release) was coloured with Copics in these colours -

Skin: E00, E21, R20, R11

Hair: E11, E35, E42, E50

Clothes etc: BG93, C00, C1, G21, G94, R85, RV0000, RV00, RV10, YG67, YG91

The pretty papers are of course from Pink Petticoat and I used Pretty Little Hearts, Gingham and Doodle Dots in Pretty (just for a change, I know but I LOVE that soft and chalky pink).  The sentiment was chopped from a PP sentiment ribbon and I snuck in Lord Timmie’s scalloped die again.

  Have you seen the new Perfect Papers mini btw? Oh soooo gorge and pretty they are  :)

But I digress!!

I just had to use shed loads of beautiful Wild Orchid Crafts blooms, and the self adhesive rhinestones are also WOC :)

Hugs to all xxx

sed a darker green with pink I normally go for pastels, I may just have to run across to WOC now for some of those dark green cherry blossom (as if I didn't have enough lol!) Hugs Rebekah xx

Ditto to what Jane said.
Your work is always tops, but I do understand that some cards take such along time and then we finally finish and say to ourselves, is this it after all the time and effort. lol
Gorgeous as always.
Luv CHRISSYx
