Saturday Card Share

Good Morning!  I woke up early this morning and actually had a bit of creativity juice flowing.  And that was before I had coffee.  LOL!

I had really wanted to play along with The Sweet Stop challenge last week, but I just couldn't fit it into my schedule.  So I got a jump on this week's sketch.

I have had this digi Milton Reading for weeks now and finally got to play with him.  This week's sketch was awesome and my card went together rather easily.  I love it when that happens.

Supplies:
Card Stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Chocolate Chip (SU), Summer Sunrise (PTI)
Paper:  Tres Jolie
Copics:  E33, E37, G28, R29, RV000, RV10, W-3, Y15, Y17, YG00, YG03, YG63
Sentiment:  Mini-Messages (PTI) stamped w/Rich Cocoa (Memento)
Tools:  CM oval cutter
Embellishments:  Summer Sunrise twill ribbon (PTI)

And this next card I made is for 3 challenges.  Raise the Bar (distress), Just Magnolia (vintage), Friday Sketchers (the sketch).  All these challenges were absolutely fabulous.  I haven't done vintage before, so this was a challenge.  The sketch was great to work with, but I left off the embellishments in the lower right corner because I felt it would be too much with everything else I had going on on the card.

This was a lot of fun to make.  I really experimented with this one.  After coloring the image with Copic markers, I went back over her shirt and socks with Memento Ink and a blender pen.  I'm not sure you can tell in this photo, but I did stamp her wings a second time and cut them out.  Partly because I hated how I colored her wings in the first place.  Trust me, you don't want to know.  But this gave me a chance to distress the edges of her wings a bit and add a bit of dimension.  I also "tea dyed" the lace trim with ink and a sponge.  It would've looked better coffee stained, but I didn't have the time for it to dry and I didn't know what that would've done to adhesive strip.

Supplies:
Card Stock:  Neenah Milled Ivory, Chocolate Chip (SU)
Paper:  Infuse & Sugared (Basic Grey)
Inks:  Rich Cocoa, Desert Sand (Memento), Creamy Caramel (SU)
Copics:  B000, B02, E00, E02, E33, E37, E53, E57, R02, RV000, RV02, RV10, YR20, YR23

Embellishments:  Lace Trim (Wilton), grosgrain ribbon (Offray), brads (American Crafts)

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoy these cards as much as I do sharing them with you.  Have a super Saturday!
