Sketch Saturday #305

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  It's still lovely here, so it's looking to be a terrific weekend.  I just love it when all the trees are in bloom and the birds are singing and flocking to my feeders!  Anyway,  I am here with my DT post for this week's Sketch Saturday Challenge.  We are generously sponsored by Simon Says Stamp!  They are offering a $25 voucher for the Simon Says Stamp store!

 
Here is the fantastic sketch from Jen:
 
 
Here is my take on the sketch:


My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the patterned papers are from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Celebrate Joyfully from Tiddly Inks.  I used the digi version, but the image is also available in a clear stamp set from the Simon Says Stamp store.  I printed Emma on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added a little grass with my Copics, too.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some stitching and a few Wild Orchid Crafts Sweetheart Blossoms finished my card:
 
Here is a close-up of the colored image:

  1. Such a darling image and I love the color of her dress. The perfect sentiment to go along with her. Lovely job on your stitching also. Enjoy your beautiful day. Outs is going to be OK but next week is suppose to get a lot better. Still lots of birds though, I love to listen to them and watch them eating up a storm. Enjoy!
