Amy’s Sketch Challenge #16

As you probably all know by know, Amy Westerman posts a sketch challenge on her blog every Sunday! This weeks was a tough one for me.

I have a hard time with the sentiment circle in the center. So I moved it just a little bit off to the side. I used a Hero Arts image Amy send me in a RAK.

Amy had stamped her birds in a soft kind of brown, so I kept the soft tones going. I colored the birds with Ciao Copic Markers from selection B and C.  The image looked a bit too bare.That’s why I added paper piercing in two corners. I repeated the paper piercing on the Close to Cocoa strip that holds the ribbon and saying.

The saying is from a Stampin’ Up! set called Tiny Talk. I stamped it on Vanilla Cardstock, punched it out with 1 1/4″ circle punch and layered it on a 1 3/8″ Close to Cocoa Circle. The Card base is Close to Cocoa as well. The patterned paper is from the big Cosco My Mind’s Eye paper pack.

 Ribbon and Vintage Prima Flowers from Starlitstudio.

This turned out so cute, even if you were a “rule rebel”! (That’s ok, I’m one too!)
