A Lovely Day


Hi everyone.  Here is my design team card for the latest challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More #47 - Make Your Mark.  I used a sweet digi image from this month's sponsor, Whoopsi Daisy.  Hope you like.







Prize:  2 sheets of digis (8 images)
(please follow the rules of the challenge to be eligible to win)

Whoopsi Daisy will be sponsoring the whole month of May 2013



Stamps:  Sheet 442 (Whoopsi Daisy); Be Happy (Amy R)
Paper:  White (C.C. Designs); Brioche DP (Memory Box)
Ink:  Island Indigo (SU!); Copics:  E00,0, E00, Y21, Y32, YR24, E44, E49, G43, YG67, BG72, BG57, 0 (colorless blender)
Accessories & Tools:  Arch Lattice Border punch (Martha Stewart), 1/4" Island Indigo stitched ribbon (SU!), blender pen, red chalk, adhesives, glue, and dimensionals

I colored the branch, leaves, bird and little girl's face and hair bow with copics.  I paper-pieced her dress and added more shading with copics onto the designer paper (and colored in her dress sash and purse).  I added some Island Indigo ink (using my blender pen) to her sash, hair bow and purse to darken the colors and match the ribbon.

The sentiment is stamped in Island Indigo ink.



Here's a close-up view of the image:




I hope I have inspired you to join us for this fun challenge.  Check out the other fabulous creations by the Design Team at ATS&M!

    Oh Loll, I just am catching up and I read your post about your sister-in-law. How very sad. Please know my thoughts are with you and I will say a prayer. Your SIL was quite lovely!

    The card today is wonderful. What scissors do you use to get such perfect cuts? Please know......I am thinking of you!

      Hi Jane. My scissors are so old I can't remember what brand they are (and they aren't marked) ... but I'm thinking them might be Henckel. They are very small and lightweight. Loll xx

    Hi Loll - you always do such a fabulous job with your paper piecing and this is no exception - her dress is absolutely darling in that pattern.

    Sending extra hugs your way dear lady. I'm so sorry to hear about your lovely sister-in-law and that you've lost a cherished friend. Praying for peace and healing for you. D
