You Light Up My Life

I made this card based this week's sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You. We're so excited that Laura, one of the 2S4Y founders, is joining our team at Starving Artistamps! I'm looking forward to working with her.

I used the chandelier image from the DoodleFactory Classic Decor stamp set as my focal image. The chandelier is colored with Copic markers and accented with a combination of Stickles and Liquid Pearls for some shimmer, shine, and sparkle.

I pulled the colors for my card from the combination of colors on the Making Memories striped patterned paper I used at the bottom of my cardfront. I added a little gray to the mix, too. These probably aren't colors I would have combined on my own, but I really like them together. I attached a gray satin button embellished bow to the top of the image panel and used the same ribbon along the top of the designer paper. The "you light up my life" sentiment from the coordinating sentiment set is stamped on a green paper strip. I wanted to stamp it right on the paper, but it would have been lost in the pattern.
