I'm so happy I was able to get this card made up and posted for today's Midweek Throwdown challenge at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps! I've been feeling a little behind on my craftiness lately -
First things first, I have to thank Cindy for sending me a wonderful gift of stamped images recently.
I picked out this Whipper Snapper Sweet Sniffs of Spring stamped image to color for the OWH MWT challenge, our theme is a color challenge and the colors are Green, Blue & Kraft/Tan.
I colored this cute pup with Copic markers B0000, B12, B14, B16, YG25, YG23, YG01, N7, N5, N3, E44, E43, E42, E41. The background is also done with Copic markers the grass being the YG colors and B0000 for the cloudy sky. I tired following the Mojo Monday sketch #228 but it turned out to be mostly "inspirational".
Luckily I can try it again and maybe get a little closer to the sketch above.
I also used a Quickutz sun die that I've had forever, Spellbinders Labels 4 and two Cuttlebug embossing folders. My cardstock colors are Via Vellum Basic Black & Leaf Green & Cyan, Neenah Solar White and I'm not sure if the tan is Neenah Desert Sand or not.
I hope you have time this week to play in our color challenge at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps!
