It’s Wednesday and that means it’s sketch time with My Favorite Things. 🙂
This week I decided to dig a bit through my older Pure Innocence sets. There are quite a few I haven’t used in ages, but today, this one caught my attention. I used A Cart Full of Friends along with Fishtail Flags and Small Scallop Border Die-namics, Hot Fudge heavyweight cardstock and X-Press It Blending Card.
After stamping and coloring with Copics, I pieced the shirt, adding shadow with W1 and W3 markers.
Adding shadow to paper-pieced parts is something that is often forgotten or overlooked, but I think it makes a big difference. Here it looks as though I pieced in the sleeve and arm separately but I didn’t. It’s all one piece. I used a kraft knife to cut out the arm from the dotted paper, so the colored arm shows through. I ran a black marker around all cut edges of the green dotted paper before adhering to the image then added the shadows with the grays.
On the inside I stamped the image a second time using Desert Sand ink and added the sentiment. The word “Sending” is from Better Get Better with the remainder of the sentiment from A Cart Full of Friends.
