Blogger Challenge: Week 160/Friends with Flair

This week’s blogger challenge is a sketch challenge. I stretched the sketch a little to accommodate some of the elements I wanted to include, but for the most part, stuck to the layout.

This fun, super sparkly birthday card should have made its way to a special friend by now (Hi, Kate!). I started with the “bring on the cake” sentiment from Unity’s It’s Your Day kit. To add some interest, I colored the open letters in the word “cake” with Copic markers and added some dots with a white pen. A row of paper piercing underneath the words fills in some of the white space. It seemed a little too bright white to me, so I inked the edges with some pink ink before adding the fun glittery cupcake embellishment to the left side of the panel.

I used a pair of My Mind’s Eye designer papers for the panels on the cardfront. I went with pink and brown patterns to coordinate with the cupcake’s colors.

For more projects using this sketch, you can check out what the rest of the challenge players have created. Links to their blogs are in the sidebar on the right. And, for more Unity inspiration, check out the Friends with Flair list on the Unity blog.
