My first Sketch Challenge!


What fun it is to use a sketch!! I guess everyone else has been on this bandwagon for a while now, but this is new to me and SUPER cool!! It's like sewing with a pattern, or taking a trip with a map!!! Anyhoo, I had a blast making this card for my sweetie! This is the first time for me to play with my new Copic markers, and my new Taylored Expressions stamp set so what better way to break them in than using Taylors new sketch TESC87!

I used her Wings of Joy stamp set, and colored the birds and cage with copics. I stitched this yummy razzle dazzle thread in gold around the edges. This thread is sooo thick it has to go in the bobbin, so I had to sew this together upside down:):):)

And the piece de resistance, is my very own homemade polymer clay button! I just love how it adds vintage bling:) Can't wait to make more of these babies, I know I'll be sticking them everywhere:) Thanks for looking;)
Please excuse my blurry pics, I haven't figured out what's up with my camera.......

If you haven't tried a sketch......just go for it:):)

Hugs

Jamie
