My little card has the adorable image from

Little Darlings,

"So Big"

And this is a first for me!  I actually have several Copics that need to be refilled, so I pulled out my watercolor pencils!

Except for the shadowing around my finished image, it is all colored with a set of 12 really cheap pencils!

The papers are DCWV, my favorite standby,

and the little stamped sentiment is Stampendous, "Happy Messages".

DCWV Stack-a-holic Challenge!

I love the card sketch challenge at

DCWV

for July!

I changed it up a bit by not using strips of pattern papers, and rather chose a text print from the "A TYPE of ART" stack

and set it on a slant to mimic the left side of the sketch.

The flower and banner where also cut from this stack.  Isn't it pretty?

I really like the patterns in this new stack and it's in your local JoAnn's!

The "I love you" just really stood out to me and I knew my husband would appreciate receiving this card when he returns from his conference and three days out-of-town!

(I additionally highlighted the words with a matching Copics marker and clear embossed them.)

I also played around a bit with the song, "You're sexy...and you know it!"

and switched it to the "I love you...and you know it!"

The banner serves as my sentiment element.

The green pattern papers are from the slightly older

DCWV,  "Chateau Lavender" collection.

Thanks for looking at my blog today, and

get ready for the new DCWV holiday stacks to hit the stores very soon!

Watch here for upcoming new projects!
