Hello all you wonderful, creative bloggers/readers out there!! I am so excited to be a Guest Designer with Sketches By Carly. I am learning so much by being part of this wonderful team. I created my card using Bugaboo "Silhouette - Day After Forever" Digi Stamp. I love their digi stamps; especially their silhouette digi stamps because I have not learned how to color yet. Imagine that - a child knows how to color; but as an adult I find it is much harder for me; especially using all the new types of coloring tools. Ha!! I just need to take time to practice; which I haven't done. I have watched tutorials; but still haven't figured it out. I guess I will stick to silhouettes for now. I am excited to be using digi stamps even if they aren't the kind you color yourself.
Don't forget to drop by Sketches By Carly and enter your card in the challenge; which starts today. Carly is a very talented 13 yr. old who creates these sketches every two weeks and there are great prizes to win.
I used the yellow background so you could see the white on the card easier. It looked yellow on the white background. I love this sketch so much that I cut out another one at the same time. I also tweaked it a little to make another card for the white on white card I created on June 25th. Check it out on my blog. I hope you enjoy this sketch as much as I do.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Carol for the lovely compliment. I appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog and to leave a comment. Have a wonderful day!!
DeleteGorgeous take of the sketch with this silhouette digi, Gloria...if you get used to colouring (no matter with what medium), you'll get addicted to it!!
ReplyDeletexxx Margreet
I appreciate the compliment Margreet. My biggest problem with coloring is I don't have the right colors to go together. CTMH is coming out with new ones July 12th; so I am hoping I can start getting theirs. I have a few copics but not enough colors. I have Bic markers; but the sets really don't seem to have lighter colors like I need. I have to do this next one with colors and I am nervous. I don't want to embarass myself or anyone else on the team. HA!! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Have a fantastic day Margreet.
DeleteOh so pretty! Great job on that fairy card, it looks so magical and beautiful! I love that it's black and white and it still looks so elegant :)
