Mel Jen's Sea Turtle/CPS/Tuesday am Sketchers




I admit it. I am a perfectionist and I am never quite satisfied with my cards. I always look for what could be better or different. It is rare that I am 100% satisfied with one of my creations. I am this time. As soon as I saw the adorable sea turtle image from MelJen's I fell in love with it. Sea Turtles are one of my very favorite animals. I hope each time I have the opportunity to snokel that I will see one. It is a dream. I used the Card Patterns Sketch for inspiration and used my favorite colors and glitter for the Tuesday Morning Sketchers Challenge.

I colored my images with Copic Markers and added lots of Stickles for the glitter. I made a ruffle with my blue ribbon to suggest a wave. I used the sea horse images to represent the scallop on the side of my card to fulfill the sketch requirements. I used dp from Anna Griffen for K&Co. and cardstock from Couture Cardstock.

Make sure to stop by MelJen's store. Her images are always inspiring and adorable.
