WSC44 - simple flower

here is my card for Beate's weekend sketch challenge (#44) I wanted to keep the image simple, because of all the "business going on with the background paper. I also used a oval for the image instead of the rectangle. I like this design but the card came together a little tough for me because I am terrible at measurements. The Flower is from Gina K's How Sweet It Is (can you tell i lOVE this set???), I colored in the flower with my Prismacolors & used Gina K Odorless Mineral Spirits to Color the image in. I'm still a novice with the water-coloring, but I think with practice I will get better.  Thanks for looking!

SC172 Sweet Birthday

Good evening, 

Well, I got the SCS weekly sketch challenge done, only a day after it was posted. remarkable for me. This one came together pretty easy. I used Gina K's "How Sweet It Is" Set, for both the image and sentiment. I really like this sketch because you can use a lot of pattern paper with it! I'm a pattern paper geek! I'm also showing off one of my new "toys" here, my prismacolor pencils, which I got on vacation in Arizona last month, and Gina K's Odorless Mineral Spirits. They are so easy to use together. I'm kicking myself for not getting them sooner!

Challenge #2 - Gina K

Here is the 2nd challenge, which was alter any item. The stamps are Gina K (How Sweet It Is), This is a little tin I altered. It's big enough to fit a gift card in it. The little "Bling" is SU Rhinestone Brads. The Ribbon and DSP is retired from the 2006-2007 Winter Mini. I still LOVE this DSP! 

I colored in the image with WWC and my Blender Pens. 

This is such a cute set. It's my mom's but I had to borrow it. :) I don't think she is going to see it for awhile! hee!
