Thanks Rox for hosting another great sketch, and thanks Anna for lending us your sketch!
I colored the image with Tombow pens and spread the color with water. Dotted black lines around the image are done with a Staedler ink pen.
Lots of sewing on this card! I went from zig zag to regular stitch in places. Got that idea from Anna Wight (thanks, Anna!). I consider myself "ribbon challenged" so it's a stretch for me to use the big fat bow on top. And now I'm not sure I even like it. It might get removed!
Edges of the beige paper distressed with a metal ruler and then drawn along my brown distress ink pad.
Lots of glitter on the bubbles.
This is one of my new images from High Hopes Stamps.
TFL!~

Wow! Your coloring is fantastic!!! I just love all the sewing! That's something I don't think my machine would like much... I've been avoiding it coz it's finicky! But it adds so much to this card! Great job!
