Novel Birthday

Hi and welcome back to the first Freshly Made Sketch of 2017!  This week our hostess is book-lover Linda Callahan.  I hope she likes my card :)

This is another NBUS set but it's only been sitting in the NBUS box for a couple of weeks, so I don't feel so bad.

I stamped the little girl in her chair onto a panel of white cardstock and colored the chair with orange Copics.  Before coloring anything else, I used an old towel and some colorless blender to add a bit of texture to the chair and I think it looks like velvet!  I then finished coloring the rest of the image and adding the sentiment.

The card base is white, but I colored a strip of scrap cardstock with Sunkist ink and adhered that strip onto the card base.  I then used foam tape to add the main image panel and the white panel on the left.  The black strip was cut and colored with clear sparkle pen before also being adhered with foam tape.

Thanks for visiting!  The design team have some wonderful cards using Linda's sketch so I hope you'll check them out and have a go yourselves!
