Sketches With Heart Sketch Challenge

Happy Sunday, dear friends.  Since it's Sunday it's time for the sketch challenge on Heart Song Inspirations.  I hope you joined us for the first monthly blog hop Friday and yesterday.  This is the card I made for the challenge today.

Madonna and Child

I thoroughly enjoyed coloring this image from NettieG.  This is the second challenge of NettieG's Challenge Blog.  I hope you will go to her blog site and join us in this week's challenge.  If you participated last week, then this image was sent to you free. 

The paper I used is The Paper Studio Pearlized Cardstock.  I embossed it with one of the Heritage Cuddlebug Folders.  I colored the image with Promarkers.  These are the colors I used.

Madonna

Plum

Amethyst

Orchid

Baby

Denim Blue

Powder Blue

Faces

Dusky Pink

Cinnamon

Coral

After completing the image, I cut an oval, using George and Basic Shapes Cricut cartridge, at 2 5/8"X 3 5/8".  It fit perfectly in the oval of the Heritage embossing.  I used it as my guide to cut the Madonna and Child to fit on the card.  I added blue gemstones and the sentiment.  The sentiment is another digistamp from Doodle Pantry.  I hope you enjoy seeing this card as much as I did making it. 

Thank you for stopping by today.  We are so thankful for all of you.  We know this is a tremendously busy time of year.  God Bless You!!!  Peggy
