For my project today I wanted something that looked really sweet and innocent but had some Sass to it :) I used the absolutely adorable Jasmin - Warm Cuppa from Crafty Sentiments Designs for my main image. I really love this one - it is one of my favorite images :)

My sentiment is computer generated and I had actually seen this saying on a coffee mug on pinterest and thought it was funny ... I actually want to get one for myself for a work mug - LOL! While I was making this card I had had the pleasure of listening to my children fight and argue like 3 year olds over doing the dishes together, and I think I was ready for my own mug to contain some vodka by the time I was done!!! LOL!

I really LOVE how this turned out and the color scheme together. The papers I used are from the Blissful Blizzard Paper Collection from Fancy Pants Designs, so I colored my image in a similar scheme to the papers I was going to use. I usually just color my image how I want first and then try and find papers I like that match so I think this worked out a little better for me :)

I colored my image with copic markers and this was my first time trying a darker skin tone so I am really happy how it turned out. When I first started coloring the skin I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but once it dried, I loved it!

Here is a closer look at my image...

I remembered to write the marker colors that I used down this time :)

Skin - E00, E11, E13, E21, R20

Hair/coffee - E47, E49, E57

Greys - W0, W3, W5

Blues/Aqua - B00, BG000

Mug - R56, R59

Eyes - G94, G99

Steam for the mug I just used a white gel pen

Here is a list of everything I used on my card:

Crafty Sentiments Designs - Jasmin Warm Cuppa 

Crafter's Companion Ultra Smooth White Cardstock

Copic Markers

Fancy Pants Designs Blissful Blizzard Papers

Poppystamps Die - Meadow Leaf

Martha Stewart Branch Punch & Scallop Border Punch

Prima Flowers (coming soon!)

Icy Mint Bazzill Cardstock

Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut Stain

Inkssentials Ink Blending Tool

Spellbinders classic circles

La La Land Dies - Heart Banner

For my sketch layout, I chose a card sketch that I have had tucked away in my card sketches folder on pinterest that was designed by Creawitch.
