I'd Be Lost Without You

In case you missed the news, SugarPea Designs has started a weekly sketch challenge!  New sketches will be posted on a weekly basis along with inspiration from a super talented team.  You'll have all month to play along, so the more sketches you try out, the more chances you have to win a prize.

Here's my take on the current sketch using the Going Places stamp set.  I colored the image using Copic markers.  It doesn't really show in the photo, but I dabbed the jeans with a scrap of towel soaked with some colorless blending solution for a textured look.  And, her goggles are coated with a bit of clear Stardust pen for a sparkly look.  I stamped the set's "I'd be lost without you" sentiment next to the image.

After curving the bottom edges of the image panel and matting it on dark brown cardstock, I adhered it to a kraft card base.  The top of the panel is covered by a strip of red striped patterned paper.  I edged the patterned paper with some narrow contrasting cardstock strips, then wrapped it with some twine before adhering it to the cardfront.  A small aqua heart, cut with a die from the SugarCuts-Heart Journal Card die set, completed the design.
