Apple Of My Eye

Hi there!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend and your week is off to a good start!  I've had a busy day, but I still managed to complete a card for a few challenges I wanted to do.  My card is for the Saturated Canary Challenge #23 (the great outdoors), Sweet Sketch Wednesday #165, Craft Your Passion Challenge #122 (anything goes), Love To Create Challenge #27 (punches and/or die cuts) and Coloring Challenge #49 on the Color Me Creative Classroom site (create a background).

Here is SSW-165:


Here is my card:


I started with a card base of GKD Red Hot and layered the sketch panels with patterned papers from the Kaisercraft Fine & Sunny 6.5x6.5 pad and the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two Rosy 6x6 pad.  My cute image is Orchard Love from Saturated Canary.  You can find her in Krista's store here.  I printed her on Copic X-Press It and colored her with my Copics.   I used six different Spellbinders diecuts (Floral Oval, Petite Oval, Classic and Scallop Ovals and Grand Circle and Grand Scallop Circle).    The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is in the All The Alphabet Word Art set in Paulette's store here.  I also colored it with Copics.  Some chevron ribbon and a Webster's Pages Bloomer finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20
Hair: E29, E25, E31
Reds: R27, R24, R22, R20
Greens: YG63, YG61, Y11, YG00
Sky: BG10 (airbrushed with cloud template)
Grays: C3, C1, C00

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great night and hope to see you soon!
