Here is the SS #186 sketch:
Here is my card for the challenges:
I started with a card base of GKD Black Onyx and layered with patterned papers from the Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 6x6 pad. I merged two fabulous Mo Manning images - Perfection and Vintage Stove. They can be found in Mo's store here. I printed the merged image on Cryogen White and colored with Copic markers. I added some Glossy Accents to the clock face and salt & pepper shakers, some Stickles to her apron and earrings and some Liquid Applique to the souffle. The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs Wreath of Wishes set. I used Spellbinders Classic and Scallop Circle Nestabilities dies to cut and mat my image and sentiment. I created three borders with edger punches - Martha Stewart Modern Garland and Combo Deco Shells and EK Success Morocco Lace. A few buttons from my stash finished my card.
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to visit the Copic/Promarker Challenge to see the fabulous creations from my immensely talented DT sistahs and our wonderful December GD, Shelby! I know it's a busy time, but hopefully you'll be inspired to play along with us once the holidays are over.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope your holidays are truly blessed and best wishes for a a happy, healthy and crafty new year!
I love this Carla. Your colouring is awesome and the sentiment perfect :) The black trims really set off that gorgeous colour palette.
