Masculine Birthday card…
I sponged in Memento Summer Sky ink for the water….Adirondak Latte for the top and bottom with the ink blending tool…Copic Sketch Markers for all the coloring after I stamped images from Stampin Up. The sentiment is by Wordsworth rubber stamps. One of the blogs I subscribe to, showed a tutorial on this, (edited to add…found the blog, here’s the link, Crafting the Web) although I didn’t have any of the same stamps…cool…it was fun…see the splash in the water? Should have titled this the “one that got away”!

Nickie’s Birdie from Inky Impressions…
Here’s a new super cute image to color by Inky Impressions… I loved coloring Nickie’s Birdie but I have never tried so hard to get a good photo in all my card creating life! lol Her shoes are sure cute in red! I still remember the pair of red shoes I had in eleventh grade…oh, I LOVED those shoes!
Maybe this close up will show the detail a little better….I hope! ugh!
Nickie is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I used the elongated rectangle nestabilities dies….I really use that size a lot…it surprises me! The border punches are from Martha Stewart, I just used the lattice part of the deep edger….pattern paper is Quite Contrary from My Minds Eye. I made the flowers with Nellie Snellen punches. The sentiment “a little birdie told me” is from Hero Arts.
I made this to play in the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge Blog this week… a fun sketch, although with just using the corner of the scallop 12×12 paper, I had to take a little liberty with the sketch.
Thanks for stopping by ….Happy Weekend!
