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.

Hi Chris, love this one, the image is so cute and it's good it reminds you of your granddaughter, mo makes the best images. Hope you enjoy the rest of the days I just wish it would stop raining. Xxx
How 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
