Lolly Polly in Cocoa PSC28

Welcome to my blog!  Today is Wednesday so I've got another card for The Perfect Sentiment.  This week's challenge was to make a card with the sentiment that lets someone know you are thinking of them.  Of course, the sentiment must be on the front of the card.  The twist is that the card must be done using a Monochromatic color scheme - any color you like!
Isn't she darling!   The image is Lolly Polly from StitchyBear Digital Stamps and the sentiment is from Hero Arts - Thinking of You set. I decided to use Stampin Up Close to Cocoa as my color scheme.  The base of the card is Gina K. Designs 120# white cardstock.  I also used Stampin Up Whisper White.  The dp comes from an SU Pattern Pack. 

The ribbon is Stampin Up Kraft Taffeta; Nestabilities Label 14 Dies; Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts; Martha Stewart Leaf Branch punch; Lacey Edge punch.

The image was colored using my Copic markers - B0000; E30, E31, E33, E35; E50, E51, E53, E55, and R29. 

Our sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps and the prize if a $10 Gift Card to her store.
