This week's blogger challenge was a sketch. The large panel on the cardfront was the perfect size for one of the Pure Innocence cuties from My Favorite Things.
I used the image from the My Umbrella set on the panel. The image is partly colored with Copic markers and partly paper pieced using striped paper that matches the striped paper strips on the cardfront. It's kind of busy, but I think it's still cute, too.
I arranged the four striped panels on a rose panel, then machine stitched around the edges to add some interest. The image panel is layered on a green mat, then added to the cardfront. I stamped the set's "It'll be okay" sentiment on the panel and added a pink button-embellished bow beneath it. The panel is attached to a matching green card base.
