Happy 9th Birthday Taylored Expressions!



Hello!  I am trying to get back into coloring, creating cards and blogging. I am trying to plan a few designs for my Christmas cards and came across the sketch challenge and the celebration at Taylored Expressions: https://tayloredexpressions.com/blog/blog/2017/08/31/te-9th-birthday-sketch-challenge/





I used a gorgeous TE angel ( I think she is retired)  and colored her with Copics and then put Crafter's Companion sparkle marker on her dress and wings- which does not show well in the picture. I embossed snowflakes and added distress oxide inks to a panel of watercolor paper.  Oh...the oxides are so fun to play with and the colors are so much more vibrant in real life! A piece of vellum with silver swirls, some sequins, a TE sentiment and I was done! I changed some of the dimensions from the sketch so I could show more of the background paper and the vellum.
Happy birthday to TE and thanks for the challenge...it helped get me back into creating!!
thanks for stopping by,
Diane
