Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
(Just in case you didn't know...My name is Faith, my sister is Hope and my brother, poor thing is named FRANK! Hope and I tease him and our parents by calling him JOY!)
I had a bit of help from Speedy the Cat this morning...He DUMPED my giant basket of embellishments all over my office floor last night...I woke up to the sound of 5 cats snarling and hissing while playing King of the Mountain with my precious goodies! Speedy the Cat, of course lay innocently in my bed while this was going on...He does NOT amuse me!
While cleaning up, I found a small pin box full of antique pearlized top Pins! What luck! I then went searching through Markie's beads and found two Swarovski roundels and 3 Swarovski crystals! What luck!
My Holiday Fawn was stamped with Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink onto water color paper.
I used markers to color in areas of the "fawn" and used my aqua painter to fill in the areas. I added spots of white to the fawn with an Inkssentials pen.
I cut him out and adhered him to the Sprout designer paper with foam tape.
The edges are outlined with a Gold Leafing pen. (I also covered the pin shaft with the Gold Leafing Pen so that it would MATCH the Gold on the card!)
For dimension, I added Self Adhesive Pearls along the corners and bottom edge.

Another gorgeous Faith creation! Thanks for the tutorial. I think your brother might have more to worry about if you and your sister Hope called him Charity. I've always thought of the trio of words as Faith, Hope and Charity (or Love as in modern translations).:-D TFS
