This week our challenge at Isabella's Sketchbook is to create a card or 3-D project to celebrate our country's colors, and with Memorial Day approaching here in the States, it's another opportunity for me to use red, white and blue! I love this image that Isabella Joy created.... it has such a homey, Americana look.
For my card, I used copics first, then highlighted with Prisma pencils. The napkin is paper pieced to match the background designer paper. The accents are a gun-metal button, white and red ribbons, and some hemp as an added touch. The sentiment was computer-generated.
The theme of the challenge is to create a card using the colors of your country's flag - so that leaves this wide open. 'Can't wait to see what you create. Hope you will check out Isabella's fine images and play along with us. There's a prize of two of Isabella's digi images for one lucky person.

Peggy, I love it, as always! The paper-piecing is a really lovely touch and brings it all together. Your colouring is wonderful, as always, and I love the little cluster of bow, button and thread! Another great success, my friend.

Beautiful, Peggy, simple and sweet. The apples look good enough to eat. Love the pretty bow/button embellishment in the corner!
This is so sweet and does make one think of Americana. The only thing that would make it more American would be if the image was apple pie :)
Hugs!
