I was so excited that I finally got some time to sit down and create a card tonight! I used a beautiful fairy image from Mo Manning that I recently colored in. I already had the image and all I needed was some inspiration for a color palette and a sketch. So I used the awesome sketch from this week's Friday Sketchers challenge...or I should say last weeks, as the deadline ended for this one tonight. And for the colors I used the palette from this weeks Curtain Call challenge. This was my first time using a color challenge for my card which made it even more challenging...but I think it went perfect for the colors I chose to color in the image with!
Here's a closeup...
I'm really loving how the closeups are turning out with my old camera! I totally forgot that when I original started using it...I wasn't very advanced in my photography skills...lol.
And for the inside I used the same gorgeous DP and stamped a beautiful sentiment from "MSE" and embossed it with my new kaleidoscope embossing powder...so shimmery!!
CARD INGREDIENTS:
PAPERS: Mocha brown and white cardstock, DP is from "Me & My Big Ideas".

INK and COLOR: The image was colored in with PrismaColor Pencils and a Gamsol technique was used. Moss Green pigment ink from "ColorBox" was used to stamp the sentiment.
