Deconstructed Sketch No. 88 and a little tut!


Happy almost Friday everyone!
Remember when Thursdays belonged to NBC? lol! I know...what a random thought. ;)

Here's another reason to celebrate today:

It's time for our weekly challenge from Deconstructed Sketch!
And here is my card using Turtle Lurv from Saturated Canary:
 

Here is the wonderful sketch by Jen:
Problem:
I am afraid of circle shaped cards because I didn't own any large cutting dies.

Solution:
Spontaneously go into Michaels, head to the Spellbinders' section...
and find the last Grand Calibur circles die on clearance for $14.99.
 Problem solved. teehee!

If you haven't noticed, I'm a wee bit obsessed with the no-border technique.

Change the color of your digital image following these directions

Color in the hair and other details:

I know. My light source on my image shifts. A lot. All the time.
Continue coloring:

And here she is again on my finished card:


I hope you all enjoyed this coloring journey!
It comes with its flaws, but that's what homemade is all about, right? lol!
I am entering this lurv-ly image into the following challenges as well:

CMC Copic Challenge Group: Color with Texture (grass)

Now don't forget to use this week's Deconstructed Sketch in any of your creations!
Link up here to the Deconstructed Sketch site with your card -
and in case you were wondering, it need not be a circle card either!
