Make It Monday #58 & CFC 44
March 20, 2012
I have two cards to share today! The first one uses Nichole’s graduated background technique which I’m really glad I have the right copics that blend easily with each other *phew!* This was based on a rough sketch that I did at work, except it turned out a little different than what I had in mind, but the good different 🙂 How’s this for CFC44 at CAS-ual Friday Challenge? Pattern? √ Image? √ Sentiment? √
The second card was based on a sketch that I did at work as well. I had a coffee sleeve from Starbucks which I really liked the “decaf”, “syrup”, “shots” tick box so I mimicked that part and wrote in “awesome”, “brilliant” and “fantastic”. Then once the zipper is peeled away, it reveals a little sentiment.

Oh my goodness I love these two cards. The colours are just pefect – so subtle. The shading on the umbrella so pretty, and the “raindrops” are beautiful. You’ve recreated the starbucks cup so cleverly too. Well done you!

I absolutely adore both of these cards. Beautiful job. did you use re-inkers or copics for the first card? TFS

I don’t have any reinkers so I used copics: B00, B02 and BG10. Luckily they “somewhat” blend together 😛
