make a fake...

-
Morning friends! Lovely Sunday morning here, which means it is time for another "Anyone for Anya" challenge. This weeks challenge is to "Make a Fake". So anything fake. I kind of did two fakes on this one, lovely Miss Anya's fur trim is not real (because we don't believe in that stuff) but flocking. And my second fake involves the sketch I used to create the card. The sketch from Midnight Madness sketch challenge calls for a charm hanging below the bow and I didn't have a charm that would work so I substituted a brad.
This weeks sponsor of our challenge is Dies to Dies for. Make sure you pop over to the challenge blog and see what the rest of the team has done. Join us won't you?

What I used:
The Greetings Farm
baja breeze, soft suede, old olive, whisper white card stock
My Mind's Eye Abbey Road designer paper
soft suede polka dot ribbon
snowflake brads (that have been in my stash for so long that I have no clue where they came from)
flocking
Lyra colored pencils, OMS and blending stump
Copic markers for flesh tones and shading
