Taylored Expressions 100th Sketch!



I came across a post about the Taylored Expressions' 100th Sketch Celebration (TESC100) and then saw the sketch layout and immediately knew Coco Bear was going to be it's feature on my take of the sketch.

I started with pink and brown color cardstock and then on a whim added a blue background to Coco and I almost thought I'd ruined it! LOL But I pulled it together and Coco is still the cuter for it. Coco is from DigiStamp Boutique and I have so wanted to color him up and get him on a card. You should really check out the digital images over there. Look at all of them if you dare, but go see Coco first of course.



Tip: After masking off Coco and the ground area of the image, I used my darker blue marker to color the SU! background stamp and immediately pressing it on the colored background. It gives a subtle pattern to the image and also hides any marker striping that might occur from overlapping while coloring.

Details:
Stamps: DigiStamp Boutique Coco with heart, Verve Love Monkey (sentiment), SU! Backgrounds (retired)
Paper: Brocade Blue, Close to Cocoa, Fresh Paint Textured Pink, LSS pink
Ink: Laserjet, Close to Cocoa, Prismacolor Markers*
Accessories: Nestabilities Standard Circle and Bloom, SU! Tag punch, Trio flower punch, and another (retired?) three flower punch, SU! Scallop Trim edge punch, Martha Stewart Iridescent Cotton Candy and Bubblegum glitter, Glossy Accents, Sissix Birthday A6 EF Tween Flowers Texturz Plate, Michael's striped ribbon. Whew!

Prismacolor Details: Coco: Fur - Mocha Light, Mocha Dark, Sepia; Heart - Blush Pink, Carmine Red: Background - Cloud Blue, Blue Slate; Ground - Parchment and a heavy soak of Colorless Blender

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
