Ice Cream Break from Lemon Shortbread for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends on the 7th of February, 2021

Hi All!

Welcome to my post about my card for the second challenge of 2021 for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.

Here is my card:

Unfortunately it is raining here quite a bit, so I haven't been able to take a good photo outside in the natural light, nor go upstairs to my craft room to see if there is an appropriate sentiment to add! But I will update if I can.

The sponsor for this challenge is:

Lemon Shortbread

Prize is 2 images!

I chose the digital stamp Ice Cream Break from Lemon Shortbread which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending Card. I have fussy cut around my image, followed by colouring with the following Copics:

• skin - E000, E00, E21, E11
• hair - E33, E35, E37
• eyes/sunglasses - BG45, BG57
• pink - RV11, RV14, RV17, RV19
• flowers - Y17, B16, B93
• blue - B93, B95, B97, B99
• yellow - Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17
• ice blocks/reds - R32, R35, R37, R39
• greys - C0, C1, C3, C5, colourless blender
• background - BV0000, BV000, BV00
• outline - BV00

I have adhered the coloured image on to a square of paper from my stash that I outlined in Y17 and then on to a Kraft square card from Envelope Solutions.

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes. The background is actually a combination of a few different classes.

Here is a close-up of the colouring:
