This week I have decided to enter both the 2Sketches4you and Papertake Challenges with the same themed card, but making up 2 different cards following the different sketches . I love to take my time during the week deciding on an image, then on the papers, the embellishments etc. and where sketches form the challenge it is easy to make up the whole card on the inside, make the matching envelope and colour the images over the weekend and then wait to assemble the front when I know what both the sketches are.
This week I used a really pretty set of papers which are a mish-mash of digital downloads, that I pulled together to follow my ideas/colour choice. The h'Anglar image is a really pretty one, and I have coloured her to match the papers with my Copic pens with attention to the detail in her hair using Sakura 3D glaze pens to create a raised effect and liquid pearls.
The 2Sketches4you card shows the make up with ribbon from Ribbon Oasis, and silk flowers from Joanna Sheen.
The card insides have been finished with a ribbon tied label, and the envelopes have the same finish.
I have found that when I take the photographs now I am not limited to daylight as I have purchased a really good daylight lamp, and in many instances I do not even need to use the flash on my camera - the colours are really very true now.
I would love your comments if you stop by. Thanks for looking xxx
