Crazy For You

In an uncharacteristic moment in the Crooked household, I did a sketch challenge that's not expired yet. I'm not sure how that happened, but I'm not going to complain!

I just played this week's challenge from Freshly Made Sketches:

and this is what came out:

I've done a blend of old and new here. The old elements are the Basic Grey Cupcake papers and the mystery blue layer (I think it's Brocade Blue) that aaaalmost matches the blue strip from the Cupcake pack. The new new parts are the Lawn Fawn twine* and the Simon Says stamp set I used for the sentiment.

I tried stamping the sentiment in multiple colors, using inks, markers, etc., but none of them looked as good as the Memento Black ink I use for almost everything these days.

The sentiment includes a heart:

which is why I was trying to color the thing with multiple colors, but ... pffth. So I decided black was good, and I'd just put something else on top of it, which I did! I colored one of the Studio Calico veneer hearts with a red Copic marker. Perfect.

For a moment -- a very brief moment -- I considered coloring the loops on that frame, then I came to my senses. WHAT was I thinking!? I'll have to play around with this set some more. It has much potential.

Thanks for stopping by!

* Did you notice the paper has red in it and I used orange twine? I like living on the edge.
