Hello everyone! This is my submission for Sketch Challenge 210... and what a fun one it is! This is my first attempt at coloring this image which my DD just gave me for Christmas, but which I have LOVED ever since I first saw it! I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black, then colored with Copics.
I stamped the Sweet 'n Sassy sentiment with Lovely Lilac. I used dp from Paper Reflections, an unknow purple from my scraps, and GPW for my layers. Both white and purple were run through the CB with the textile EF. I added ribbon and yellow stickles to the floral centers, and popped the image up on dimensionals. I kept it simple but for one of our older ladies in Church I like how it came out. I can't wait to try coloring this image in different colors. I know these colors don't usually show up well in the gallery, but IRL they are very pretty.
Thanks for looking
