I have some exciting news to share today! I am so honored to have been asked to be the Guest Designer for the month of January for the Just Us Girls Challenge blog! They post a new challenge every Saturday and you are definitely going to want to play along! The JUGS design team is one super-talented group and I am really looking forward to playing along with them this month!
Today's challenge is a sketch challenge. Here is the sketch we got to work with:
Here is my card with the sketch:
For my card, I used the peacock and some sentiments from the Gina K. Designs set, Pretty As A Peacock. I colored the peacock with Copic markers and highlighted the entire image with Spica glitter pens. My card base is SU Basic Black and the layers are retired SU Blue Bayou. The image is stamped onto Cryogen White Iridescent (Paper Temptress). I used patterned papers from Webster's Pages Hollywood Vogue/WonderFALL Petite Papers pack. A bit of Blue Bayou stitched ribbon finished it.
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a happy and healthy new year filled with many blessings!
