Whee!

Here's a fun spring-like card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch. The swinging girl image from the Start the Day with Whee set was a perfect fit for the sketch's circle panel.

I stamped the girl on a white panel and colored her with Copic markers. After coloring her (and the leaves at the top of the panel), I masked the colored image with a sticky note and used my airbrush tool to add a pretty cloudy sky background to the panel. The mask kept the airbrushed ink from muddying my coloring.

I went with a girly pink and green color combination for the card. I used a striped panel underneath the image and added the set's sentiment on a green panel for contrast against the stripes. A dotted panel, edged with a matching scallop edged strip, sits at the bottom of the card. I knotted a piece of bold pink ribbon around the bottom to finish the card.
