Fresh

Fresh…fresh year, fresh inspiration, fresh supplies. When I saw Casology\’s prompt I was inspired. In December, I saw this darling stamp set (Sweet Dear Friend by Picket Fences) and ordered it immediately. The girls seemed very fresh and pure and I thought they would be fun to use in the new year. Today was my first day to try them out, but I see many future cards as well.

In brainstorming, I came up with the clean and simple idea of a line of four girls plus the sentiment bordered by a scored band. I embossed the girls on Bristol cardstock and then used my TomBow watercolor markers. The images are sketchy and I wanted to use bright, fresh, vivid colors to bring them to life. I kept the hair and face muted so that the focus was on the dresses.

TomBow colors – Dresses: 933, 755, 173, 443. Face: 990. Hair: 990+055
