Today is the first of the April release previews....Eric is one of the Wild Sprout line....he is so cute, and I adored colouring his hair. It is also Saturday...so Sketchy Saturday, and I have used the sketch on this card...
For my card I have coloured Eric using the following colours...Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E44/E47/E49
Clothing - W3/W5/W7/E37
Shoes - W7/W9
The papers are DCWV "Rockstar" and I have layered them with some black Bazzill cardstock. To create the effect of ribbon (which I don't use on male cards) I used some Tim Holtz "Adage" tickets and attached them with staples and wrapped some string around (thanks Leann it came off the pressie you sent me!) to which I added a "dream" charm. I also added a foiled circle sentiment by Craftwork Cards. I then got even more carried away and added more staples to the corners of the card.
I am so excited to be part of the CA&F team and hope my month doesn't pass too quickly....don't you just adore Eric....I think he might be my favourite of the male Wild Sprouts....just for his hair...LOL Be sure to come back tomorrow to see my Anyone for Anya? card and also on Monday for the second of this months previews...this time a female Wild Sprout....anyway I have to dash as I am the official photographer at a small wedding this morning....I am a little excited and nervous and have some small butterflies in my tummy...
Gorgeous card as always, Caz. Good luck with the photo's I'm sure they will be great!
