Sketch Girl Challenge #15

Another great sketch challenge from Sketch Girl, Leigh Ann. I love doing sketches. They take part of the creating process and make it a lot easier. This sketch challenge is sponsored by Phindy's Place. She is an amazing artist! Phindy is offering a $10 gift certificate to her store to the SG15 winner.

Here is a little about Phindy's Place:

"Phindy's Place digital stamps is a new venture for children's book illustrator Philomena O'Neill (aka Phindy). For someone who has always drawn a lot of young children and animals, drawing digi stamps has felt like a natural fit for her. As a professional illustrator, Phindy draws her stamps as detailed and fully realized images. She sees her digital images as a collaboration between two artists - her own imaginative line work art and the crafter's talent and vision in coloring and embellishing that art to create a finished card!"

So, without further ado - the challenge #15

I colored the bunny with my Copic Markers. The papers are from Basic Grey "Lemonade" and i believe it is the valentines collection from My Minds Eye. I cut the image with my rectangle deckle nestibilites and distressed around the edge with Ranger Distress Ink "Antique Linen". The flower is a SU scallop punch and a circle punch is what the sentiment is stamped with the "Antique Linen" Distressed Ink. The two rhinestones were from my stash.

Please go and check out the other DT's fabulous creations

My friend Kym gave me this award. She is such a beautiful person I cherish her friendship. We met online on a DT team and then had a chance to met in person when she and hubby pasted thru East Tennessee on their way to the beach and vacation. We had dinner and talked and talked. She is such a wonderful friend and such a blessing and inspiration for me. Thank you Kym for this honor of your friendship and this award.
