MarkerPop: Sunflower Lulu - Pastel Challenge





Hello everyone!   It's Wednesday and I just finished my work week.  I am now getting ready to pack for CHA! YAAA!    What a way to spend a week off!   It rates up there in my book as a 10! :D 

This is  my Design Team card for our MarkerPop Challenge #2 for this week.   the challenge is "Pastels".   I used a rubber stamp image from Swiss Pixies at  CC Designs called sunFlower Lula 
Isn't she just the cutest little thing?    I has some whimsical fun on her hat and dress with my multicolored Copic pen.    I sketched a sunflower the size that would fit into the bottom of my card.  
A little paper piecing and popped it into the corner!    



Copics Used:
Hair c3, C5, C7, Copic Opaque White
Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20
Dress: G40, G44, G46, W3, Colorless Blender and 0.3 mm Copic Multiliner - Gray
Ribbon B000, B0000
Grass G40, G46, G93, W4, W3
Flowers: Y10, Y15, Y13, YR24... Mulltiliner 0.3 mm Sepia
Background: B0000, B00, G000, C0, Colorless Blender, Opaque White ink. 

I am linking these cars in the following challenges
MarkerPop Challenge #2 - Pastels

I sketched the sunflower and leaves.  and then paper pieced the flower.   It is fun to try to sketch and coordinate corner embellishments to match your images :D 


I hope you check out our MarkerPop Challenge for this week and
 I hope to see your wonderful
creation !

That's all for today and stop back tomorrow for my Luka with Pumpkin card!
