Edit: won top 3 honors at Card Makin Mamas challenge #20
Hi folks! Happy Tuesday! Boy, I don't say that very often!! I've been down on my posting for a few weeks now and hope to work out of that rut. To that end, last night I decided to work up an image I'd colored several weeks ago.This is a fabulous digital image from A Day for Daisies. I just love this company and all their images. If you're not familiar with them, I hope you'll treat yourself and go take a look.
Isn't she darling??? I wanted to keep her coloring nice and simple to mirror the image so decided to go with red and white with light blue sky. After I'd colored her I just struggled so badly on how to finish her off. I couldn't find the right patterned papers, design, nothin'!! What a chore! So I decided to put her aside for a while and focus on other things. Then last night when I was finally feeling better, I got her going with the red, white and black combo. Sometimes these colors are a bit much for me, but I must admit, I really like this. So glad I used my white embossed DP on the top half of the card. I think it helped keep the card light and still simple. As a last step I decided to put those black rhinestones on the polka dots. I thought it was very cool that putting them directly on the white dots as I did, carved out a little red box just for the rhinestones!! I wasn't expecting that!
I'm going to give this card to my granddaughter. We've had this 'sunshiney' thing going on since she was very, very little. She's 12 now, but still asks me to sing 'You are My Sunshine' to her every now and then. Of course, I'm always happy to do so as it's also a treat for me to walk down that memory lane. It's always a great trip! : )
