Hello, and welcome to our first Fab Friday challenge in February!
I had a bit of time to do some blog hopping this week, and I was inspired to try my hand with the darling dog from the Friends for All Seasons: Summer set by WPlus9. I think he is just the cutest with his pudgy belly and poker face.
I have been practicing coloring a few of these cute critters with Copic markers and felt ready to add one to a card. The background was sponged on white card stock with Ranger Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Tattered Rose, Scattered Straw and Fossilized Amber. Keeping light pressure helped me achieve the airy look I was going for with these colors.
I added a few different sized hearts stamped onto the background and spritzed to add shimmer. After Copic coloring the balloons, a quick whisk of Wink of Stella made them sparkle.
Gotta have that sparkle, right?
Here's the sketch my card was based on.
A sketch is a great way to kick in your creative juices.We hope you will play along with us at Fab Friday! Looking for more inspiration? Check out the blogs of our Fab Design Team.
