I Spy... Happy Birthday!!

Week 2 and another fabulous sketch!! The basis of the challenge is to "spy" a card in any online gallery or blog-- the sketch is created from the card chosen. The sketch will be posted Friday at 12:01 am (for time zones and early birds) and you have until noon the following Wednesday to create a card or project based on the sketch. THE Kim Teasdale will be picking the top 2 creations to be displayed on the "Top 2 Thursday" post. Check it out HERE.

This week Beate... yes, that's THE Beate is the inspiration for our sketch. Maybe someday I can have one of those first names- you know where they use your first name and everyone knows who you are.... not gonna' happen with Vickie!! Guess, I've lived with it this long... can live with it a little longer, hehehe!!

My card....

Now... is that one adorable penguin or what!! Stamped the image on white and colored with copics (just a little coloring---made me nervous-the girls on this DT are coloring masters!!  Popped on top of a white circle nestie... after using these papers (which I adore... OA Sidewalk), I wanted that penguin to standout with the bg paper-- 'cause he/she (that's still not a settled subject) is adorable!! Die and stamp are from The Cats Pajamas. Stitched a little and added some buttons. The pennant die can be found here... and Alma has lots of penguins.

The sketch....

I did stamp the whole image.... there's a balloon attached and paper pieced that balloon- but is was just a little too busy with those buttons-- so, I cut it off--- Alma it's adorable either way!! My interpretation for this week's TCP Tuesday challenge....

Thanks for stopping by!! Appreciate all the kind words!! TGIF!!! Hope you stop by and play with us at I Spy... !!
