I was invited to check out the My Favorite Things Challenge blog this past week. They run regular sketch and color challenges for card and stamping fans. You could most likely translate the challenges into other crafty pursuits as well. I figured I am in a coloring, crafty mood why not? Besides a very dear friend of mine is having a baby shower and I would love to make a special card for her as I know she will be appreciative. Here is the tag I made using the current sketch at MFT.
I do not have any shape die cuts so I just eyeballed the oval and the tag but I don’t think my wobbly lines show too bad :-). Supplies for the tag include; cardstock; Bazzil Swiss Dots, patterned paper; Graphic 45, flowers and trim; American Crafts, stamp; My Favorite Things, ink; Memento and Copic.
The flowers are hand colored to match the patterned paper I used Copic markers in R20 and E93. Here is a close up of the fox and a list of the colors I used:
E11, E13, E15, E17, E19, E49. I used Memento ink in Rich Cocoa to stamp the image and even double stamped to keep the lines light and hopefully invisible after I colored. The E49 I used was to go back over the little nose and eyes. I know this is a unique image to use for a baby shower gift but the new arrivals last name is “Fox” and the beautiful mama LOVES her foxes so the image could not be any more perfect!
Thank you MFT for the inspiration.
Happy coloring!
I love that you made a tag, Michelle! And I love what you did with it. That G45 paper is baby shower perfection!
