Birthday Rascal

Hi and welcome.  Narelle Farrugia is our sketch hostess over at Freshly Made Sketches this week and I took the liberty of rotating her sketch 90 degrees to enable my images to all fit.


I had just received this set and wanted to try my Copic colouring again.  The last attempt really knocked any confidence I had so I have been reluctant to try again.  This isn't perfect by any means and my blending needs some work, but it's better than the last attempt, so I'll take it!  I really need to take some time off work and just spend it in the craft room! 

After colouring and die-cutting the images, I set to work on the polaroids.  I die-cut them from white cardstock and used some stencils and distress ink to add a bit of colour to the background.  


I then assembled the polaroids and after stamping the sentiment on a white card base, I arranged them haphazardly to look like scattered polaroids.  I finished with a pink enamel heart to match the flower colour.



Thanks for visiting.  Please check out the fabulous cards made by the design team!

I think you are too hard on yourself, Karren. You did a great job coloring those darling raccoons. I wish I could do as well.

This little rascal is adorable! I love how you've made the squares into polaroids for the sketch.

You are so modest, Karren. Your coloring is way better than mine and I love your little Polaroids!

These little guys are charming! I love them in their little photos and it's all so perfect with the sentiment.
