Hi All! I've got a card for you that, once I figured out what in the heck I was going to do, actually came together fabulously! I'm entering this card in the challenge at Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge blog where the challenge is to use embellishments from 'off the scrap desk'- so basically find everyday objects completely unrelated to scrapping, stamping or cardmaking and as they say on Project Runway "Make it work". My goal was to find an initial object and build from there and for some reason (trust me you don't want to try to figure out how this brain of mine works- most the time I don't even know I'm just along for the ride!) I had the idea to use headphones and make the card really centered around music. I used the new Lil Lad Eric image (grab it
here) because I could just see him with earphones and an ipod stuck in the pocket of his hoodie. I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday to help with the layout and modified it somewhat (I hope it still counts) because the next perfect embellishment with the whole music theme was to use an actual CD instead DP. Once I had it all together it still seemed to be lacking something, and now I was on a music/unusual embellishment roll, so I dug out a ticket stub from a live show I went to in Vegas to add! The sentiment sticker I found could not be more appropriate cause all I could think when I looked at the card was 'Sa-weet!'. I have to say I
really enjoyed this challenge- it's fun to think outside the box!
Here's a close up of my image along with the Copic colors I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E11
Hair: YR00, YR02, YR07, E99
Eyes: B45, B91
Jacket: YG41, YG45, E53, E55
Pants: W5,W7, W9
