But for my regular Tuesday Morning Sketches post - we have a new sketch up and it's a Judged Challenge! Whoo-hoo - I love extra twists. This week we're sponsored by Sweet n Sassy Stamps (have you seen their July New Release!?! Yummy!!). The twist.... Things With Wings
Now this image is called Bluebird, but I just got some reddish brown Copics, so I wanted to try my hand at coloring a Robin Red-breast, my Mom's favorite bird.
This card could be a feminine card, but I leaned more towards the masculine side. I love the gingham and the linen thread and stars. I'm just happy with my card. I hope you like it, too.
Supplies:
Image: Bluebird
Card stock: Neenah Classic Crest, Kraft, Black
Paper: Black/Khaki gingham (Michaels open stock)
Ink: Tea Dye, Antique Linen Distress Inks (Ranger)
Copics: E13, E17, E18, E29, E33, E37, RV000, RV10, YG06, YG17, YG63, YG67, YR23
Tools: circle cutter (CM), felt, ink applicator tool, Cuttlebug, Argyle emb folder
Embellishments: star brads, linen thread

I love the sponging you did around the bird - it looks like it has a spotlight shining on it! Fantastic card, and another awesome sketch you gave us to wok with!!
