I combined two assignments today! Firstly, this week at the TSG Blog we've been featuring three classic There She Goes stamps and today we are sharing cards made with them.. I chose one of my favourite sets,
Aim For the Clouds (Regular Price $15.00 Special Price $12.75)

and paired it with some PERFECT patterned papers from BasicGrey called What's Up?,

a collection featuring hot air balloons.. Like I said.. Perfect! :)

For my second assignment I used this week's iSpy sketch. This is an absolutely gorgeous sketch and was really

easy to put together.

This week's card is by Dyane Fogleboch (Precious Stamps @ SCS) and is based on this card.

I made a 5.5x5.5 card instead of the landscape A2 card for a little switch-up..

Here are the Copic markers I used to colour this card. I used the "using Grey to shade" method of picking out

my colours. For example, when I coloured the ground my darkest green was YG67 (a lot of grey), then YG45,
YG13, an YG02. So basically you pick out markers with the FIRST number increasing as you get darker, as
well as the SECOND number increasing as you get darker. This gives you a more natural shadow..

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like this week's sketch and decide to play along!
