Our Creative Corner- Saturday May 30 Challenge

Good morning. I couldn't wait to get started on my OCC Sketch Challenge yesterday because I got a happy package from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. Just in time to ink it up and use it for the Challenge. The Sketch is great and I had to work around the fact that this stamp is large. As you can see this card is a standard 4.25" x 5.50 and I didn't have a lot of room to work with. I love these stamps by Victoria Case that Susana is carrying in her store. Is she not so cute with those big eyes? I so love all the cute little people but I have to say that I am not reallly in love with the faceless ones. I am thinking I am going to use the eyes and mouth from this line of stamps on some of the Magnolia cuties and then I would be a happy camper. Someone online said they did that but they used a Magnolia Elf for the mouth and I thought it was a little strange looking. Well, I will have to order one and see how it works. This card was extremely easy to color and shade plus I got to use a whole lot of stickles and Shimmerz on all the flowers. These stamps are so detailed she even has a bracelet on her tiny wrist which I colored gold to match her tiny earring. I ordered the Shimmerz from Susana and I have to say that it is fun to use. It gives a sparkle but more like a paint with shine. Plus it doesn't cover up the Copic color underneath . I got the Opal which has a slight pink tint so I think I will be able to use it on the light lavender Copics I ordered. By the way do you like Alexa's pretty hair? This is a Copic bundle from, yes....Susana's store. This combination of colors is very easy to work with.
