I'm back. I had great plans to blog yesterday but it was one of THOSE days. I swear, I couldn't get out of my own way for trying. After a good night's sleep and a day without rain, I am feeling much livelier. And I was able to get creative too which was a good thing because I have customers waiting for orders!
I was asked to make a card for a high school graduate. Thank goodness for google images - I was able to do a little searching and find out the school's colors were a kind of violety/orchidy purple.
Bella is stamped with palette noir ink and colored with copic markers. Sadly, I didn't write down the purple color I used so I am of no use with the little details in today's post. I do know that the green is G09 and her face is E00. The flowers are colored with a spica pen (lipstick red - LOVE the new colors). Her hair is colored with a dark brown prismacolor pencil and blended with baby oil.
I originally was planning to use a Splitcoast sketch challenge sketch for this card but that fell by the wayside when all the elements just weren't clicking so I veered off in my own direction.
The sentiment is stamped with palette noir ink and is from Verve Visual. I used my scor-it to add a little more to that layer and I used some dew drops/rain drops to the right of bella. The rain drops are from Stamping Bella but I can't remember which is which, they are all in the same containers. I finished off with a prima flower with an amethyst Swarovski crystal for the center.
I'm off for a little tv watching before bed. Hope you have a great night!
Oooh great card! Wonderful stamp! My daughter's highschool is purple...and gold, but this works ;) She'll be a freshman this fall. I feel lots of purple coming into our house.

What did we ever do before Google!?!? I love the score lines that you added, as well as the dew drops. This is a great graduation card!

I love the scored lines, they really add something extra. I'm jealous, you have new spica markers!
