Hey there. Today I'm sharing my design team sample make for Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge. Our sponsor is All Dressed Up Stamps.
If this looks like a Valentines card, you are half right. I made this a month ago for a dear sweet lady who celebrated her 99th birthday on February 14th. I enjoyed being in our neighborhood garden club with her back before my Arthurs hit me and I could still work in my flower beds. I had been friends with her daughter for many years before that, though. My dad was her college theatre arts teacher and I was out with her the night I met Honey. She's a retired junior high theatre arts teacher and her mom's caregiver now. I wanted to make Mrs. Jo a special card that alluded to mom and daughter since I love them both dearly.
At left is the challenge sketch and at right is how I rotated it to use for my card.
Our sponsor All Dressed Up Stamps generously gave us some digis to work with, but I've owned this ADU LLama digi for awhile that was perfect for my needs. Before printing it, I added the sentiment in PSE. The image is colored with Promarkers and accented with gel pens and Winks of Stella glitter brush pens. Card stock is SU (card base was cut from 12x12 Bazzill) and designer papers are from MFT's 6x6 Sweet Stack. Ribbon, baker's twine and foam hearts are from my stash.
Inside I used Versafine Clair's Charming Pink ink to stamp the MFT sentiments and balloons. I shadow-stamped the large Autumn Leaves heart using Memento Angel Pink ink.
The back has more Sweet Stack papers along with an Impression Obsession stamped on a card stock scrap.
A close-up of these adorable llamas and the shimmer and glittery shine.
And a final view. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are having a great weekend and enjoying some good weather wherever you are. Next Sunday we will be turning our clocks forward one hour here in the States for Daylight Savings Time and then the Sunday after that will be the official first day of Spring. XOX

You do make the best cards Aimeslee. I love the heart ribbon. It gives great texture and looks fantastic. I like that llama. She's an adorable mom with such a cute baby. Hope your weather has warmed up. Ours is up and down, up and down. You never know from day to day, but welcome to March in New Hampshire. Hugs-Erika
