CPS #31 and a Tease!

I love a good challenge... and a sketch challenge has always been a favorite of mine. I saw a sketch on CPS # 31 (Card Positioning Systems blog) that really spoke to me. It's a unique sketch...

Here's my take on the design:

This isn't a classical holiday color theme... but I think the Basic Grey Fruitcake (Snowed In) double sided paper is a perfect foil for the sweet Lockhart angel. Isn't she beautiful?

Here's close up of her detail:

I colored her with copic markers and highlighted the details with Copic Spica glitter pens. Something a little extra on this card was the stitching - first the white twill with a zig-zag stitch down the middle and the straight stitching around the angel.

This was fun! I'll have to check out the CPS sketches more often!

I hear there will be PRIZES! Whohoo!!!! Just you wait until you see the amazing things the newest illustrator at CHF has been whipping up! I'll update you with more soon...
