Hello!
Wanted to get this card done in time to follow the sketch challenge over at The Paper Players.
Finding cardmaking goes much MUCH easier for me if I'm able to adhere to layout parameters. I had never gotten around to using this wonderful stamp because of the coloring required but I found it so relaxing to work on such a sweet image. I stamped two "just" in case, and colored the other as well; so I will be posting a different layout before Christmas with that image, where I did not trim out the starry sky inside the circle.

Copic markers (image)

I agree with you! I love layouts as I feel it keeps me focused and allows me to finish sooner. As for your gorgeous card...your coloring is spectacular and that image is something I have not come across before. A truly fabulous design. Thanks for being with us at The Paper Players!
So happy you enjoyed the sketch this week Nancy! Your sweet little bird just makes me smile. Your shading is beautiful! Thank so much for joining us this week over at The Paper Players!
Amazing card! I usually start my card with picking a layout first or a stamp set then a layout. It’s quicker to complete when there’s a vision. Your chickadee is perfect in center stage! So happy you played along with Krafty Chicks Challenge this week.
