Be the Change

Good morning and happy Friday! Today I'm hosting the Free For All Friday challenge over at StampTV.

The challenge is to case a member of the Design Team and this week it is Cathy Tidwell we are casing. Here is a link to the card of Cat's that I cased. Participants need to change at least two things and I changed...

different layout
tore only one edge of my focal panel
added a dragonfly

All the images are from Follow Your Dreams from Gina K Designs. 

 I started by sponged Memmento Angel Pink ink in a diagonal band across Pure Luxury White card stock.

 Then sponged Memento Lulu Lavender above the pink.

 Sponged Memento Summer Sky.

 At the bottom, I sponged Memento New Sprout.

 Then sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves.

 Then I tore one edge off the background.

 Stamped the trio of trees using Stazon Jet Black ink.

 Stamped the sentiment then used my YG91 Copic to add the hint of a hill and shadow.

 Deepened the shading with YG93.

 I stamped the dragonfly with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then used Copics to color, starting with R85 on the body, then YG03 on the wings.

 I added BG02 on top of the green and extended a bit.

 Then filled in with V000.

 I used a bit of RV21 but it is nearly dry so I couldn't get the wings quite as dark as I wanted. Sound like the perfect excuse for a new Copic order. I really have no choice, now do I?

I layered with Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown and tied a bow with jute twine the card base is Kraft.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Oh, the card size is 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches. :)
