This week’s sketch from Sketch Saturday is another fabulous one, and perfect for showcasing another of the gorgeous Belles & Whistles designs.
Today’s rather pink and girly card features the adorable Belle with Teddy image. Her hair was particularly fun to colour, and I just love the little boots on her teddy bear!
Belle has of course, been coloured with Copics. You will find the full list at the end of this post (I can probably stop saying that!). I’ve accented the heart patches on her pockets, and on her teddy, with the Sakura Clear Stardust Gelly Roll pen – so useful for adding sparkle to small areas with no fuss or mess.
The papers are from the ever so gorgeous My Mind’s Eye “Ooh La La for Her” 12×12 pack, and the lighter pink fancy borders are from the diecut accessories sheet that comes in the pack (I’ve covered these with Shimmerz). Flowers are from an SU Paper Pretties kit, and I have airbrushed them with Copics and covered with Shimmerz for a little sparkle. Ribbon is SU Taffeta.
Sadly no photo of the card inside today. It is decorated to match the front, in a similar style to yesterday’s card, but it’s a miserable day with poor lighting, so the photo looked very odd indeed with one side appearing to be a totally different colour to the other… *sulk*
Thank you all for stopping by. Your comments are always much appreciated. I’ve finally cleared my Google Reader list, and I think I’ve caught up with most of you! If only you could add comments from within Google Reader, life would be so much easier!
