Born To Be Wild

Hi there!  Hope you've had a good day!  It was a very busy one for me so I'm just getting to pop in and post the card I made for a few challenges.  It is for the May Sketch For You To Try on Jen Del Muro's blog, Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenge #94 (paper piecing), Through The Craft Room Door Challenge (photo inspiration), Our Creative Corner Challenge (also photo inspiration; use orange, blue and white or cream and brown) and Love to Create Challenge #16 (sentiment inspired by a song).

Here is the May SFYTT:


Here is the TTCRD inspiration photo:


and the OCCC inspiration photo:


Finally, here is my card:


I layered the sketch panels with patterned papers in the inspiration colors from the Authentique Gathering 6x6 pad.  My fun image is Bling Baby from Kenny K.  I printed her on Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored all but her outfit with my Copics.  I printed a second image on patterned paper from the same pad and paper-pieced her clothes.  The sentiment, inspired by the song Born To Be Wild, is from Create With TLC.  I finished my card by adding a bit of shimmer to her turquoise jewelry with a Spica pen.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope to see you again soon!

  15. Hi Carla - I am always in awe of your amazing coloring talent. This card is fabulous and the coloring really brings it to life. I also loved that song and it was one I think I actually owned on 8 track, LOL!! Am I showing my age now?

    I had so much fun in Baltimore with you and all the gals and really HOPE to be there again next year! It's really a joy to have the opportunity to meet the people that you know only online. Although, everyone was just as wonderful in person, as they are online and that's another thing that I love and always admire about crafters. A truly wonderful group of very kind, caring and super creative people. I'm humbled to be part of such a wonderful community.

    And Yes, it was awesome to be back at my craft desk and that's my plan for ALL day tomorrow too!

    Thanks for visiting my blog and again, it was a pleasure to meet you !!

    Hugs,
    Lisa
