Well I hope you're all fired up and ready to play along!
For full details please pop on over to the fantastic Stamps and Smiles blog, where you can see all the DT 's beautiful cards and get bags of inspiration.
Here's the first Thursday Challenge sketch, designed by the one and only Mercy Kerin......
This is my take on the sketch.
I matted Bazzil Basics CS onto white linen card.
The patterned paper is one I picked up on my travels.
I have no idea where I got from.
(Possibly Hobby Horse in Derby). Not sure though.
I used a scrap of SU that was as near as damn is to swearing to the patterned paper and stamped it with a clear scroll stamp by Rhonna Farrer.
Satin ribbon from my stash with the little flowers from my Leone Em punch.
The sentiment is another mystery 'coz there's no name on it! I inked it with Adirondak 'Cranberry'.
Don't forget to hop on over to the Stamps and Smiles blog to see all the beautiful cards from the other DT members.

Love this sketch and your card is just gorgeous Viv!! xx
ReplyDeleteVery, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHello Viv, I am so glad you stopped by my blog and left such a sweetheart comment... and because of it I learned about you and Stamps and Smiles. Your copic coloring is awesome, you did wonderful with this image... I wouldn't have known it was your first if you don't mention it.... I am also thinking in getting the copic myself, but I am afraid to pay such a high price and not like them... I will stick with my prismacolors for a while...
ReplyDeleteI will post my card for the Stamps and Smiles challenge soon, and I have linked both blogs to mine...
HUGS...SK :)
