Friday Sketcher's Challenge # 73

I worked for a few days just to get this card front finished. The inside and envelope will follow at a later time. So, this weeks sketch is a delightful layout created by the lovely Beatrix. Here is her layout:



The DT did a marvelous job of show their fabulous samples. Now, on this card I started out with an entirely different image and It just wasn't coming together, so I scratched that entire thought and decided instead to use Blueberry Tilda from the latest Something Yummy for your Tummy collection. As you can see there isn't a blueberry anywhere in site on my card. Since this is Autumn I made the blueberries into nuts - doesn't matter what kind, whatever works for your area. Here they are Pecans...



We have 7 Pecan trees in our yard and every other year they yield much more than a basket full. Ugh! We loose so many to the squirrels and I guess that's good!

Here is a close up of sweet, nutty, Tilda!



The sketch called for flowers on the left side of the card and I did that, but I also added a smaller spray on the right side just to give some balance to the card...





Here's what I did with the inside:

  14. Your card is BEAUTIFUL!! What a creative idea to change the blueberries to pecans - it's perfect. I don't think you really need the Copics class - your coloring is awesome, although I'm sure you'll have an awesome time!

  16. Your card is absolutely stunning. I love all the rich colors and your take on the card sketch is great. I love those little flowers. Personally I think that they should just give you the certificate of Copic certified without you having to take the class because your work is just extrodinary but then I guess you would miss the fun. It's so much fun to get to hang with other Copic fans. Your work is just wonderful. I look forward to seeing more.
