Hello there crafty friend!
Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a new challenge for the month of February in the Unity Show & Tell group… a fun sketch challenge! Sketches are a wonderful starting point for a card design. They always get my mojo working!
February Sketch Challenge
Loving the fun layers for this sketch! I think it’s a great one for those pretty pattern papers we’re all hoarding. The measurements included are for an A2 size card, but this sketch could be easily altered for a mini slimline or an A7 card. Keep in mind that the measurements are approximate and they are really just a guide. You’ll notice in my card below that my focal image is larger than the sketch calls for. The sketch is really meant to inspire creativity so have fun with it!
The Rainbow Wishes 6×6 paper pack was the perfect papers to pair up with the gorgeous wellies in the new amazing Play in the Puddles stamps {releasing later today}! The distressed lines in the background are a wonderful new stamp from the February 2023 Kit of the Month called Happy Soul. Love it!
I love the colors in these papers so I used them as my palette for my copic coloring.
Here’s a quick list of the Copic markers I used:
Leaves ~ YG21, YG91, YG93
Flowers ~ R00, R12, R22
Wellies ~ BG70, BG72, BG75, BG78, B37, B95, B99
I finished off the card with two little banners using complimentary colors that I found in my stash. And then added a couple translucent enamel dots because I had forgot I was going to staple them to the card front before I adhered it to the card base. I had to improvise!

Here’s another look at the sketch! Feel free to alter it to work for your creation and most importantly have some inky fun! I can’t wait to see what you create! Be sure to share your cards in the Unity Show & Tell group and also add them to the sketch challenge album in the group to be entered for a prize! I’ll see you back here next Thursday with more inspiration for this month’s sketch challenge.
Inky Hugs,
Crystal
