2 challenges in one!

This is my entry for Copic Creations challenge #2 and Friday Sketchers challenge #48

close up and personal:

This week's Copic Creations challenge was 'colouring/blending/shading jeans'.

'Rose's Garden' Stamp by Sarah Kay.

I've used the following Copics:

Jeans - B93, B95, B97, then C1 stippled over to achieve a 'stonewashed' look

Blouse and hair ribbon - V04, V12, R22

Hair - Y21, Y28, E35

Skin - E00, E51, E02

Flowers and leaves - R20, R22, R35, Y38, G21, YG03

Basket - y21, E31, E35, E37, YR02, C1

Path - W1, W5, E35

Image outlined with C1 then B00. (Kitten left uncoloured).

To make the card, I followed this sketch for the Friday Sketchers #48 challenge, (thanks Kristine).

I've used up some old K&Co/ Tim Coffey papers from the stash (sorry don't know any more details). The glitzy butterflies are by 'a touch of Jolees'.

I've used a SU stamp for the sentiment (from the SAB 'Yummy' set) and made the shape using the SU ticket corner punch, distressed the edges for a little contrast.

The Lilac strip is punched with the Martha Stewart zigzag embossed border punch and all edges of the PP are inked with Wisteria Chalk ink (Colorbox).

I like DL size cards, so I've really enjoyed using this sketch, I'm sure I'll use this layout again.

Hope you like!
