This week's Sketch Challenge at The Outlawz challenges you to work with this sketch:
A little bit daunting, that's what I thought .... but I decided to take up the challenge and this is what I came up with, a card just perfect for a man, I think.
The image featured on my card is called , and it's an image I drew for the Digistamps 4 Joy store.
It's coloured using alcohol markers and a white gel pen. Here is a detail pic of the image only:
I thought it would be difficult to colour, so I had to give it a test run. To my surprise it actually is fun to colour, because as you add the different colours the bird starts to take on an identity and elegance all of its own!
To construct the card I used a diecut shape, cut in half, offcuts of black CS, offcuts of ribbon, and stick on sentiments and corners.
I think this image can be used for almost any occasion, and depending on what papers and embellishments you use with it, can be used for both a woman's or a man's card.
I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

Jen, I just had to come over and view your card again after seeing it in the Sketch Challenge. Now, I am even more blown away finding out that you drew this beauty as well as colored it. Your talent, my friend, is awesome! I agree with your comments about thinking it would be difficult as well as it being multi purpose. I, too, am curious about your use of the white pen. Hug, Pat
