Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 23 ~ Coffee is Not Enough ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing my first card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 23 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group.  I couldn't resist playing with this fabulous new release from Unity called Coffee is Not Enough.

I definitely take this sentiment to heart! Hahaha... a new fave, for sure! And she was so much fun to color up! I knew the background was going to be all neutral so I wanted her to pop with lots of color. Speaking of the background... I paired her up with the awesome Perk Me Up {paper pack} from Unity. Love all the fabulous patterns in these papers! It was hard to pick and choose what I wanted to use for the card.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 23. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. I added dimensions as a guide, but my focal image is larger than the one on the sketch. A good example of letting the sketch lead, but not limiting the design.

 I found a stitched rectangle on my desk for a kind of backdrop for the girl and kitty. It was die cut using the smallest die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. I probably could of softened the white with a bit of Antique Linen Distress ink but in the moment I was liking the pop of white. I colored up the girl and kitty using my Copic markers. Fussy cut them leaving a bit of a white border around the images.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used: 

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04

Hair: E70, E71, E74, E77

Pajamas: R20

Robe: BV20, BV11, BV34

Mug: BG000, BG01, BG45

Coffee: E51, E23, E25

Slippers: Y11, Y15, Y38

Kitty: R00, R20, C00, C1, C3

I adhered the stitched rectangle to the smaller pattern paper rectangles and then I added foam tape to the back of the whole panel. Popped them up on the card for some fun dimension. I trimmed up the sentiment and added a small piece of foam tape on the far right side so it would lay flat on the card. All of my layers are adhered to a white A2 top fold card base. I hope you all have fun with this sketch! I can't wait to see what you create with it. Have an ink-tastic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
