Happy Wednesday! We are really enjoying the spring weather here, complete with yard work, LOL! So many trees are blooming and everything is greening up. I love this time of year!
My card for today's sketch is a little bit of spring~
This is the first sketch for April~
The sketch was perfect for this sweet image. The image is from the What's Mew? Stamp Set. It is colored with Copics and fussy cut out. As usual, I used the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle Dies to die cut my mats. The window scene is popped up on dimensionals. I added color to the card on the card base, sponging on some orange and deep pink inks; then spattered the sponged area with water and spritzed it with Mr. Huey's Calico White spritz.
To mimic the curve of the window, I added a bit of doily. I wasn't quite happy with the end result, so decided to emboss the base panel with a polka dot embossing folder. My go-to SSS sequins finish off the card.
