Here is Katharina's sketch:
Here is my first card. The lovely Melinda with Muffin Basket is colored with Copics then placed on layers of die cuts made with my Nesties. The DP is K & Company and the twill trim is from Chloe's Closet by Memory Makers. The scalloped border was done with the Martha Stewart punch and the flower buttons are also from Chloe's Closet.
Close up you can see I made the muffins blueberry. Mmmmm!_edited-2-for-w.jpg)
Copic colors are: Skin E00 and E11, Hair YR24 and E37, Jeans B95, Shirt YG03, Apron E41
The second card features Willow with Sunhat, also colored with Copics, and sitting on layers of die cuts with my Nesties. The DP is DCWV Far East, the patterned trim is K & Company, the scalloped punch is Fiskars. The ribbon and charm are from my stash.
Close up shows her oh-so-pretty face!
Copics used were: Skin E00 and E11, hair E29, Hat E41, Dress E41 & E53, Apron E08, Green trim G85.
The third card was so much fun to put together with the colors of black, green and orange. Oakley is colored with Copics. The cardstock used for the die cuts and embossed strips are scraps from my leftover drawer. The sentiment is a rub on from KI Memories and the buttons from Walmart.
I love Oakley's style!
Inside is left blank for a personal note.
Copics used are: Skin E00 and E11, Hair E37, Shirt YG03, Pullover YR04 and Y38, Pants 100
Here is the photo of the cushions that were my inspiration for the color schemes. When the creativity gets stale, or just for the fun of it, there are some terrific color combo ideas in catalogs.
So, there you have it. Three cards for one challenge! I almost didn't get these posted tonight because Blogger (or my laptop) was just chugging along. So, now I must clean up my mess and head for bed. I hope your week has gotten off to a wonderful start! Thanks for stopping by. You are always welcome and appreciated!
