FBW106 Mercy Me...It's a Sketch!!

Happy Day today!! Can you believe that we are up to the 106th challenge of Flutter By Wednesday? It blows my mind, and I can't believe how April is nearing to a close already! Tomorrow, my hubby and I are going to see Bon Jovi in concert. I've been a fan from the beginning, but this will be my first time to see them!! I can hardly wait! Sorry, I digress...hehehe!

This week we have a sketch from the uber-talented Mercy Kerin!! I love her sketches, and I play along with her Tuesday sketches whenever I can! Lately, we have been spending so much time on landscaping that I haven't had a lot of craft time! Just remember to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your card. I used the wonderful Sweet Pea stamp and my Green at Heart paper from Basic Grey that arrived in the mail this week. I love the details...the coloring can seem a bit daunting, but I work in stages. I color the skin, walk away, color the hair, walk away, then, I come back and color the rest of her body, and, you guessed it, I walk away. It seems like it takes me all day to color it, but I really liked the result. The picture doesn't do it justice and it doesn't pick up the sparkle from the Spica pens, but it will do!

Meredith also wanted to play this week...her page is loosely based on the sketch. Her coloring and cutting skills get better every day. She just loves using my "special markers." My husband hopes she develops as much of an interest in golf so they can do stuff together!! I told him to pull up a chair to the craft table, but I think he's too intimidated!

Sorry, I'm a little chatty today! I hope you are all well and that you will join us this week. All you need do is link up your creation HERE. Don't forget to check out the amazing talent from my fellow design team members on the left sidebar! Ciao!!
