Good morning...it is still morning- just! I've been struggling to motivate myself to craft lately- I've made my DT cards but not much else- and if I have managed to make something it's more often that not ended up in the bin ... so I decided to look for some sketches to use as a starting point and made this card.
The image is a very old one of Mo's , I bought it because it looked like my eldest granddaughter - who is now 14 and very much a young lady! It's coloured with copics, glossy accents on her funky specs (Liv actually sported a very similar pair, she thought she looked super-cool - she'd be mortified now!!!) and on her lolly. If I wanted to make it more realistic I would need to add red splodges all over her clothes....Papers are a random selection from stash, the added lolly is a stamp, coloured with copics, fussy cut and glossy accents added, and a stamped sentiment to finish.
This is the sketch I used from Cheerful Sketches Challenge
Thanks for visiting today, hope you are all keeping safe and well.

ReplyDeleteHow completely adorable! Chris, The first thing I noticed was your wild use of paper scraps and the background. I love what you have done. Such an imaginative use of paper. I feel so inspired to try using lots of pieces and a sketch going forward. Loving this utterly sweet, beautiful masterpiece, right down to the memory of your sweet granddaughter’s childhood. Hugs, de
