You inspire me (Shari's Monday sketch)

Hello, there!
This week, Hero Arts artist, Shari Carroll is showing us her beautiful works.
Yestreday, she gave us 4 marvelous sketches to work with for this week.
The PDF file can be downladed from the URL below:

今週は、ほとんど時間が取れそうに無いというのが事実なのですが、度々参加しているチャレンジ用に、ヒーローアーツ社のアーティストであるShari Carrollさんが、スケッチ(グリーティングカード用のパターン --- 雛形です---)を用意してくださっているので、時間の許す限り作ってみようかと思って、トライしてみました。
雛形は、上のURLからダウンロード出来ますので、興味をお持ちの方はダウンロードされていた方が良いと思います。オススメの貴重品!!!

So I decided to try some and going to join the 'sketches2' challenge.
This is my card, 'You inspire me'.

Made this card to take on her Monday sketch. I love her sketches!
My colors for this card were a little bit shift to autumn colors. The reason is ... I went to 2 department stores yesterday evening and received the Autumn - Winter clothes reserved them in this spring. (I'm really simple minded. Haha.)

The center circle coloring is used Perfect Pearls which I learned the methods at 2Peas Thinking Inking class by Jennifer Mcguire last week. And the background heat embossing is also from her class - mixing Perfect Pearls with clear embossing powder.

This is a closeup.

But I couldn't show you that I used perfect pearls, 'Green Patina' and 'Heirloom Gold' colors with clear embossing powder. I'm sorry! The center circle coloring is also used the same 2 powders.

  3. Hi Tomo! Love how you layer different stamp designs--I can see the Modern Lines in teal underneath--and only you can do this and make such a fabulous card!

    I will email you some time this week. Hope you were safe and the earthquake didn't affect you in Fukuoka!

  5. Hi, Donna!
    Thanks so much for your very kind comment on this!
    Thanks for your message, too!
    And so many thanks for your concern! The seismic center of the big earthquake (a little bit over M6) were away from where we live. So, we are in safe. This disaster reminded me the big one which is over M7, we met in 2005. Natural disasters are really scary...

    Hugs, Tomo
