Mabelle RO - Garden Joy

 
Hi All,

Today, I have a guest designer post for Mabelle.  I'm using an image I won from a hop a few months ago called Garden Joy.  I hadn't colored her yet so this was a perfect opportunity.   

I paired this sweet image with a paper pad from Doodlebug Designs called Flower Box.  Love the bright and fun colors.  I used 5 patterned papers from this pad.  I think that is a record for me!  Some were scrap pieces so that is good - using scraps.
When I colored this image, I was preparing to teach a Copic coloring class, it's been awhile, so I've been looking thru techniques.  I hadn't added hatching to an image in awhile and thought adding some to her hat would create some interest and texture.  The hat I'm happy with - the cart - well maybe I should have connected in the middle.  

The sun is a die from Lil Inkers Designs, with a gem placed in the center.  I added real stitching around the image and the perimeter of the mat background and to a couple of the pennants too.

Sketch Saturday Challenge #273

 
Happy Saturday!  We have a new sketch challenge at Sketch Saturday.  

Our sponsor this week is Prairie Fairy Designs.
 Here is Sketch #273 (designed by Jen):
 Here is my interpretation:

 
I saw a fence in the border detail of the sketch.  I used a PTI picket fence die that I've had for quite some time.  So nice to finally use it :D

I stamped the fence with a woodgrain background from A|Muse and PTI soft stone ink.  I was hoping for a white washed fence look, with a hint of the woodgrain showing thru.  One more thing I've had for some time and finally used it.
The image is from Oak Pond Creations, an image that I won in a challenge.  This image is called "Marie's Strawberries".  I love strawberries.

Supplies --
Image: Oak Pond Creations "Marie's Strawberries"
Stamp: A|Muse woodgrain background
Ink: PTI Soft Stone
Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye "Sunny"
Cardstock: PTI White and Pure Poppy
Dies: PTI Picket Fence, Nestabilities Circles
