Another InStyle Thankful Thursday Sketch Challenge Card
Hey Friends! I know you're saying "wow, girlfriend. . .another card?" Yeah. . .I've been crankin' out the cards lately. So much to do . . .gotta get them out! Well, this is the "fo-real" InStyle Thankful Thursday Sketch Challenge Card. My previous card was the "late" card. LOL! Don't forget to scroll down to check out the other card I posted today.
Okay. . InStyle Stamps has a new sketch challenge today and this my card sample. Go check out the challenge. . .it's a fun one.
A lot of bad things happened to this card but luckily, I was able to do a bit of fix here and there and it all worked out! First of all. . .do you see the gray background. . .well, I used that color because my ink smeared on to the white when I was coloring the image! I was like ARRRRRRGGHH! Initially I was going to cut the image out as a fix but I wasn't in the mood to cut out the center. It's hard to cut out the center of images.
Another boo-boo is Mike's hair. . .well it started off black/gray. . .but I thought it was too dark, so I decided to experiment and add brown highlights. . .well, it looked terrible while I was coloring it. I was about to trash the image which I rarely ever do but I got distracted and set the image aside. When I returned . . . it was dry and it looked okay! Cool. There's more boo-boos and fixes but I won't go into it.

I Love, love , love the cuteness! They look like so much fun to color. And if you hadn't told about your boo boo's, I'd never know - you coloring looks great! (It is nice to hear others have those stamping days too, though!)
I love layers! This is absolutely too cute!!!

Not fair Maria! When I make a boo boo it looks like a boo boo! It never comes out this cute!! i love the grey background and the boys hair is perfect! Love your coloring as always and I can't stop staring at the way you did your sentiment treatment! That is so going in my reference file! Love it!!
I don't usually watch soap operas now, but when I was growing up my babysitter was hopelessly addicted to them so I was always caught up on all the shows. I am sure if I turned them on now, not much would have changed in the last ten years anyway! LOL!

Awesome x3, Cute x3, wonderful x3! Your boo-boos are great boo-boos...mine, I have to toss it out! Love how you color and layer, and find the right DPs, Wow! Love all your cards.
Very cute stamp! You did a fabulous job on the card!
What a fun springy card! I've always loved bee's and honey cards. I just read the book 'The secret Life of Bees' now I need to rent the movie.
I have a bush in my front yard that blooms and gets covered with Bee's each spring. I make everyone go around it so they don't scare off the bee's! LOL! kinda funny I know..
I don't see anything wrong with this card! It is very CUTE! I love the grey background! I think it is perfect! And the main characters colored perfectly!
