Sketch Saturday - Sketch #271

It's another Sketch Saturday challenge sponsored by Simon Says Stamps!  $25 to use in their online shop may have your name on it.  You just have to play along with our sketch this week!


I am using a digi from Sassy Cheryl Stamps.  It's called Patience Secret.  I think this is the cutest! The sentiment comes with it and the second line is, "for her secret is patience."  It's a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I seem to be on a blonde hair coloring kick lately.  I used a new color combination on this girl.  I started with Y23, Y11, E50 and then added some E33.  I like to see contrast rather than blended hair, so the E33 helped bring in some darker tones.

This sketch was a tricky one for me!  I had to draw the shape.  My years as a first grade teacher came in handy.  I remembered our container of pattern blocks and that the hexagon can be made with 6 triangles, so all I had to do was create the right sized triangle.  Don't look too closely though, because all of my sides aren't even.


Since you aren't looking too closely - I'd be grateful if you didn't notice the bleeding around the hair ribbon from my Copics.  I tried to push the ink with my colorless blender, but I am using Walmart cardstock and it's trickier to do.  I promise you don't notice it much on the card.  (Darn that camera eye!)

I pulled our my V00 for shading on her face because her shirt any bow use violets.  The other colors I used were E000, E00, E11 & R20.  The grass is an assortment of YG Copics -YG67 is the darkest.

Have fun with the sketch; I can't wait to see your creations!
