Sketch Saturday, Sophie

This is my final week as guest designer at Sketch Saturday. It has been a fun month, amazing sketches and wonder sponsors, thanks to Sketch Saturday for the invite!  I am a regular participant so will continue playing along as usual. I hope you will join Sketch Saturday this month for a change to win a prize from out wonderful sponsor The Paper Shelter. 

I chose this adorable image from The Paper Shelter: Sophie In The Country and choose to use the precolored digi as she was so adorable and I thought she just needed to be showed off. Isn't she adorable?  I fussy cut her and mounted her on Amuse's sky cardstock and added grass cut with an Amuse die cut and use my scallop circle die.  Patterned paper is Nana's Kids and I like that it has sparkles in it, I also fussy cut a few of the flowers from the paper for embellishing. Happy Birthday stamp is Morning Star and cut from Labels 4.

Glass of Wine

 

 

 

Welcome to week 3 at Sketch Saturday, this month is just flying by.  This is my third week as guest designer at Sketch Saturday and I got to use this fun image: glass of wine and the accompanying saying from our sponsor Bugaboo. Below is a close up.

 

And the fun saying that comes with this dig:

I used double sided patterned paper from Heritage called stripe that I bought on a recent trip to Kimswick a cute little historic town in Missouri that has one of the few remaining stamp stores in the area.  Copics: B95-97 and blender for jeans, G8-94 and blender for blouse,  Y28 and Sakura Jelly Roll pen for glass stem. For the wine I used  water color pens, I layered in this order and not solid, kinda a loose scribble: 705 red, 710 pink, 706 purple and an unlabeled lighter pink, then I darkened the edges with the purple and blended - this was the best color combo I (actually my hubby and I) could come up with to look realistic).

Thanks for taking the time to visit, I hope will check out the fabulous creations of the design team and join in with the fun at Sketch Saturday for a change to win some Bugaboo images!
