Creative Nugget: Aren't they just the sweetest couple? I've been wanting to color this Mo Manning image for a while now and this sketch provided the perfect opportunity! Tom and Tilly were colored with copic markers. You can hardly see it in the photo, but a cloud stencil was used to sponge some Weathered Wood Distress ink in the sky and Vintage Photo was sponged on the bottom. The image was adhered to the top of a black panel and strips of scrap patterned paper were used to make the stripes on the bottom. A little heart trim separates the image from the stripes. All of this was put on some Basic Grey DP, another black panel, and a Pretty in Pink card base. A bow made with my Bow-Easy and a sentiment were added to finish off this anniversary card.
This card also qualifies for Inspiration Challenge #36 at the CMC Copic Challenge Group over at Scrap Bitz.
Here are the inspiration photos:

Maybe you can use this sketch to make a Valentine's Day card for your honey if you haven't made one yet. If you do, post it on The Sweet Stop Blog. We'd love to see what you create with the sketch! Be sure to check out the other Sugar Babies for some more fabulous inspiration!
