Simply Betty Sketch

Did you know that Simply Betty Stamps has a sketch challenge going on right now? And that the prize is to be the August Guest Designer??? Now that is a prize I really want to win! Here’s the sketch:

And here’s my card:

Rio-Sketch-1

I’m in the mood for green, I guess! I started off with my fabulous Rio stamp, and inked her up in Ice Jade from Color Box (one of my fave inky colors eva!). Then, using my colored pencils, I used various shades of green to complete her. Here’s a close up.

Rio-Sketch-2

I like her as a pretty zombie…don’t you? I’m actually kind of inspired to do more monochromatic Rios. I already stamped her out in some other colors. Hmmm…I can even use one for the Burtonesque Dolls Challenge this week! Let’s just see if I have time… But back to this card!

Rio-Sketch-3

In keeping with the green thing I had goin’ on with Rio, I chose various scraps I had to finish the card up using funky cardstock in all assorted greens. And a single rhinestone to top it all off!

I really like this sketch. I am going to try and use it again. Maybe with another of my funky colored Rios or perhaps Christian! We’ll see… have an inspiring day!!!

Love the green! That is so fun! I'm really wanting to try the whole monochromatic thing...but I was thinking B/W or sepia - love the thought of other colors!! Great card!
