Whiff of Joy Challenge #50 --- Rachel's Sketch

This week's Whiff of Joy Challenge is a sketch by the wonderfully talented Rachel. Her sketch was fun and a definite keeper.

For my card I used the beautiful Shy Willow from the Summer Stamp Kit. She is one of my favorites for coloring because her skirt is so full of folds and appears to sway.

I have a somewhat unorthodox method of making my cards. Some days I just sit and color images with no particular patterned paper in mind. I just put together colors that appeal to me at the time, or I am eager to use some new Copics. So, that creates a challenge when choosing the papers for the card. Thankfully I have quite a stash of paper and usually find just the right pieces. This card is quite a combination of designers but I am very pleased with it. I hope you like it, too.

Materials:

Designer Papers: June Bug by Basic Grey and Chloe's Closet by Making Memories

Tag: Chloe's Closet by Making Memories

Strawberries: Martha Stewart

Copics: Skin E000, E00; Hair E08, E41, E29; Dress R0000, R00, R02; Apron YR0000, YR00, YR04; Berries R20, R17; Apples YG00, YG03

Ever since I got the new Copics pastels I use them often. I love the translucence of the colors.

And here is Rachel's wonderful sketch -- easy and elegant!

There is more exciting new from Whiff of Joy: the Winter Stamp Kit is now available for pre-order! If it is anything like the others it will be over-the-top awesomely gorgeous! (I've ordered mine!) Remember Willow's flowing gown from last year? I can't wait to see what she is wearing this year!
