My card today features
a great image from the I Like Big Books set from SugarPea Designs.
I wasn’t sure
what I wanted to put on this card, which I needed to make for a friend’s
birthday, so went looking for some inspiration on challenge sites. Over at CASology the prompt is ‘text’, which got
me thinking about books and the fact my friend loves to read. Rummaging through my stamps I found the I Like Big Books set and the woman even looks a bit like my friend, was crafty serendipity
and seemed the perfect excuse to get some ink on this fabby image for the first
time.
While I was
looking for inspiration I saw the colour combo at Colour Throwdown and loved
how it looked on the DT inspiration so I’ve gone with it. I did up the image in Distress Inks, I’m not
the world’s best watercolouring but practice is making better and it is quicker
than colouring with Copics for a CAS card.
As I’ve used one
of their stamps and made a birthday card I’m also linking this up at SugarPea Designs for their big birthday bash challenge.
Sure hope they bring out more ‘Sugar and Spice’ images as this one was
fun to colour up and I love how she’s turned out.
