Friendship

The theme this week on Cute Card Thursday is for couples, but you don't have to have boys and girls together, it could be animals or as I have done, a Sarah Kay image of a couple of little girls. Our sponsor for this challenge is Whimsy Stamps.

For my card I've used the sketch from the Sketch and Stash blog with a mix of digi papers from Cuddly Buddly. I coloured with my Copics, but when I went to take the picture the pinks didn't show up so I tweaked it in Photoshop but that's meant the creamy-brown papers are now looking green! I was going to enter another blog challenge to use pink and brown together, but perhaps I'd better try again for that one. I've some new stash I've played with on this card - a pink pearl maker pen, a Nellie's Choice border die and I borrowed my friend's new Marianne die too - but now I've gone and ordered my own! I've added the little stamped text and snips of brown punched fronds and AB pearl strings then finished with a pink satin bow.

Copics for colouring:
skin tones - E000, 00, 21
browns - E30, 31, 33, 35, 55, 39
pinks - RV000, 00, 34
kitty and shading on dresses - W2 & 3
shadow - C0, 1, 3

I have to get back to the accounts now, but I do have a couple of cards in various stages of completion so hopefully can squeeze in the time to finish one to share with you tomorrow. Sorry for not visiting again .. .. I need to have at least 2 of me to fit everything in!
