'Let's Be Copycats' Card Challenge

'Let's Be Copycats' CTMH Card Challenge,
June 2018

Today's post is an entry to the 'Let's Be Copycats' CTMH Challenge at Heart 2 Heart Challenges. Here is the challenge:

To answer this call, I went to Page 27 of Close To My Heart's Seasonal Expressions 2 Idea Book. There I found a card using Fresh Air papers and the Fresh Air Cardmaking Stamp. It's the first picture on the left. I've posted that photo alongside my entry for your ease of viewing.

I used the same size papers, but switched it up and used the Postcard Perfect paper and the June Stamp of the Month girl and sentiment. I stamped the girl using Archival Black so the color would be set when I went over the colored pencils with the waterbrush. I also used some alcohol markers I had on hand for the deeper coloring. I didn't care for the amount of white card showing in the background and felt it draw my eye away from the central focus of the girl, so I used one of the flower stamps from Postcard Perfect that matched the paper to stamp the background using Charcoal ink. For the embellishment, I used bronze sequins.
