And here's my take on it.. I stuck pretty much with Korin's Awesome sketch.. Didn't change a thing... 8-)
My Sweet little turtle friend is from Sweet 'N Sassy's Gifts from Turtle Set. Isn't he just the Sweetest little guy! Well I thought so.. 8-) I colored him up with my trusty Copics, of course, lol and sponged my clouds with my favorite template and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I added a touch of Antique Linen Distress ink shading and used my score pal to emboss the edges for a nice clean look and then popped him up with a few dimensionals. For my Mats and BG layers I chose a combination of grey polkadot dp's from Sasafrass, Florade 2 digi dp's from Anita Richards and Sunny Day digi dp's from Kate Teague that I had left over in my stash. But, you can find them at Two Peas in a Bucket.. 8-) To finish it all up, I hand wrote my sentiment onto a Lil' Inker die cut tag, added a fun MS punched border, a bit of polkadot ribbon, some yummy lemon yellow bakers twine,from MAD Stamper Finds, and a few Sweet paper flowers all topped of with a glittery brad from my stash. Pretty easy peasy, huh?.. 8-)
Well, I sure hope you can play along with us at The Sweet Stop this week, can't wait to see your take on this weeks sketch! And please, make sure to stop by and take a peek at the rest of the Sweet Stop Sugar Babies Fantastic creations! 8-)

ReplyDeleteAdorable, Shannon! Beautiful paper on this card, and I love that little turtle. You've colored him so nicely. I've got to learn to sponge clouds...yours are fantastic. Hope you have a great week!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card, and such masterly coloration of the turtle. The gentle gradations and shadowing make him pop off the page. Love the added touch of pinkness to his cheeks to give him that bashful expression. Px
ReplyDeleteYou've colored this image perfectly, and I love how you did the edges with your Scor-pal! I never thought of trying that, and it looks great! Cute card!!
