Serene Silhouettes and a Sketch

When I opened my blog reader, I decided to give a sketch a try for today's share. The good thing is, those cards can come together fairly quickly...

Here is my card:

And here is the sketch I chose to follow:

I guess when I chose the colors I in a summery mood LOL. It's bright and cheerful and makes me smile. I really seem to like yellow and purple together.

BTW - the wooden sentiment was a left over piece from a prior Paper Pumpkin kit... BUT, we now have some similar embellishments in the catalog, called "Expressions Natural Elements". You can  dye with our ink pads... That's what I did! I used Rich Razzleberry but if you want it lighter, I would suggest to use a sponge dauber so you have better control over how much ink get onto the wood. This one almost looks black...

The pearls were colored in with a permanent marker (sharpie), but if you own Blendabilities, you can use them as well ;-) Color them while they are still on the wax sheet...
