Happy Birthday Sweetie Pie!

It's Thursday and time for a new challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  This week is a color challenge, take a look.



I was so happy to see the color challenge this week, these colors are perfect for the new Sweetie Pie Photopolymer stamp set.



Isn't this too cute!!  As soon as this set was released, I knew I had to have it!  I have an 8 year old daughter and this is just perfect for making cards for her.

The card is simple and sweet.  I used Daffodil Delight for the card base.  I added Whisper White with a layer of Gumball Green for a pop of color.



The frame and face were stamped first with Black StazOn.  I also stamped the frame on a piece of Tangerine Tango DSP from the Brights DSP Stack and paper pieced the frame.

The little girl is colored with a blender pen and inks, I kept her very simple.  I kind of wish I had added a flower in her hair, but she still looks cute!

The sentiment is from Four You, stamped with Black StazOn.  I added a little flourish in Gumball Green below it to add a touch of color.




I hope you will join me for this week's sketch challenge.  Be sure to check out all the inspiration from the Design Team over at Create with Connie and Mary.
