TESC ~ Farm Fun!



Hello ~ Hello ~

This is my second post for the day :) I couldn't wait to share my card for the latest Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge. "Udderly Sweet" is one of my favorite TESC Sets. Most crafters have a love or hate relationship with cuppie stamps - mine is all LOVE!

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black on PTI White and colored in with markers. I then framed the white oval on a Real Red Oval.  I normally color my cuppies with prismacolor PM-7 Magenta and then use the colorless blender pen to lighten up the middle of the face. I started with prismacolors when I first started coloring images (actually I was a SU! Marker person first) and then gradually bought some Copics. I use both in my coloring now, but to be honest I like the "feel" of Prismacolors better. I feel like I can control the color and blend colors better with those.

All of the patterned paper is from October Afternoon. I used a Jumbo Scalloped MFT Die-namic at the bottom. The red ribbon is from SU! Not sure where the red bling is from. I just have a little bling drawer and keep all the sheets in there. :) I left the inside blank so I can customize the sentiment for whenever I need the card. The other card stock (Lemon Drop & Green Apple) is from Gina K Designs (the Real Red is from SU!)

Thanks for stopping by, the sketch is below. Hugs ~ LJ
