Inchie Card Sketch #2

Hello!  I can't believe it's been an whole week since the first sketch!  I am absolutely thrilled at your response, encouragement and participation.  Woot!

If you find this post and use the sketch after the closing date for the giveaway I would still love it if you left a link so I can visit your blog or gallery.  Deal?

Who's ready for Sketch #2?

I began by stamping the Peas and Carrots Dress from the Vegetable Couture Collection (Lockhart) with Lettuce Adirondack Ink on Natural White (Neenah).  I just couldn't help but pair up this dress with the Garden Variety Paper Pad (Cosmo Cricket) - what a perfect match!!

 

I colored dress as follows with Copic Markers:

Lay down a base layer of Y21 on the carrots. 

Color directly over top with R27.

 

Color over the center of each carrot with YR04 to lighten and create an orange tone.

 

Color the peas with YG63 and then color over the entire pod with G40.  Color the ruffle on the dress with Y21 and then highight with YR04 from the top; drizzle with Clear Spica Glitter Pen (Copic).  Color over the peas again, this time with the Opaque White Gel Pen (Ranger) and color the hanger with the Silver Spica.  Cut the image in half and mount onto White Inchie Squares.  Finally, add a layer of Glossy Accents over the carrots and pea pods for dimension.

I didn't have quite the right green paper to coordinate with my project so I sponged the same Lettuce ink that I stamped my image in over Natural White card stock punched with the Binding Punch border using Cut 'n Dry Foam.

Finally, sponge around the edge of each inchie with the same ink to pull it all together.

 

All papers used are from the Garden Variety Paper Pad (Cosmo Cricket), ribbon is 1 1/4 inch moss silk (May Arts) and the sentiment stamped with Jet Black Archival ink (Ranger) is from the Birds and Branches set (Hero Arts).

Finally, the winner of the first Inchie Card Sketch Challenge is Melissa Cash!
