Happy Wednesday! All of a sudden it hit me that this week was half over, and I really need to get my butt in gear! Mallory wants to come home this weekend – so I will be traveling Friday to pick her up. I did nothing yesterday but sit here all day, watch soaps and nap. Was a good day! I have to pay for that day today.
Even though I napped yesterday (for a long time), I did go to bed early too. Which means that I didn’t check out the Splitcoast Sketch Challenge until this morning. Love this sketch! I have a few more cards to assemble today and more than likely use this sketch for a few of them.
The bunny image was stamped in Adirondack Pitch Black Ink, and then colored with Copic Markers. Using the Copic Airbrush System, I airbrushed the background by masking the bunny. I made a little boo boo – got a little carried away on the ground and sprayed a little paint on his paw. Needless to say, I am now hooked on the airbrush and am looking for a way to hook it up to my portable air compressor. Need to make a trip to the hardware store. For the base background of the card, I stamped the dotted background in VersaMark. The designer paper was cut to size and then the edges were sponged with Dried Marigold Distress Ink. The sentiment was stamped in Stazon Timber Brown and the edges were sponged with Dried Marigold. Instead of using brads today, which seems to be a mainstay for me, I opted for eyelets. Unusual I know, but fun nonetheless. To balance the main image over the ribbon, strips of mounting tape were placed at the bottom and in the middle.
