Gosh, it's been a while since I've particpated in a sketch challenge, I've lost my touch for yakking in this section. Okay, this is an image of Anne Ryan and me having tea together, as Anne Ryan and I are dear friends of each another - and I'm trying to get off of Schrimcat's Santa's Naughty List Card...
So, here is my Penny Black image, coloured up with my copics and I used Basic grey paper, punched out flowers in Brilliant Blue for the little decorations in the corners. Used my cuttle bug for the polka dots, and then sponged the polka dots with Briliance white for a little contrast.
Thanks for looking! I'll be back tommorow to comment further!

I can't wait to see if Santa's helper will accept this. It may take more. But that is good because then we will see you in the gallery all week. Lovely image. I can't wait to get it. The blues are so pretty. Great coloring. TFS and have a wonderful day.

Aw, it is so nice to see you and Anne having a cuppa together and playing nice! I cannot wrap my mind around you being on the Naughty List - sure hope you had a rockin' good time while being naughty! Love your card!

Well Yakky, this is just beautiful! (did you really use copics?) Your little mice look so sweet, and I love that cup so perfectly colored! The CB looks wonderful in this sketch, and just the right amount of sponging to make those lil dots pop! I still say you remain on the Naughty list, but this is a great entry, and I believe you are now up to the card of the week! So nice to see you back! LYMI, Naughty Girl!
