I really like this sketch! It's versatile and perfect for any occasion, guy or gal! I made the following card for my bestie that recently had knee replacement surgery. She's recovering wonderfully and can't wait to get back on the golf course!
The gorgeous flamingo is from the latest Stamp of Approval collection, "Tropically Yours," as part of a stamp set & dies called 'Stand Tall.' I watercolored her with Catherine Pooler's new ink color, Coral Cabana, and a Zig blender pen. The Canvas Grunge background (also from SOA), was stamped in the same coral ink as was the watercolored striped layer. I'm just crazy about this new ink color and wanted it to be the star of the show so I added a black/white DSP scrap (Black Tie Gala) and some black/white twine for accent. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I used MFT's Tag You're It die to add the final layer and scattered some black gems (my bestie deserves some bling)!
