We woke up to more snow this morning! AAAAGGHHHHH!!! Enough
already! I swear this is going to be known as the winter that never ends! Okay,
it was gone by noon but still……grrrrr…. The only good thing about it snowing
today is that a lot of people stayed in this morning and we got all our errands
done in no time. Today was the first day out of the house since the weekend –
talk about home bodies! It was just too cold, wet and dreary to want to leave a
nice warm house……..besides I have a quilt that needs to be finished.
Today’s card is one I made with one of the new stamps from
Stamping Bella and I’m entering it into the challenge over at http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.com.
I coloured this image with Prismacolor pencils and blended with
gamsol when I was down with that horrible virus I had but just got around to
finishing it. I rubbed chalk with a cotton ball around her for the sky and
brown for dirt. I like a soft subtle background and I find chalk works the
best.
This looks like a complicated card but it was very easy to put
together. I backed the image on yellow cardstock to pick up the colour of the
scooter; and then backed that with the marbled hot pink cardstock which matches
her skirt; and then glued the entire thing to the white card base. After that
it as so easy to just add those peel-off flowers (thrift store find) to the
lower left and one blossom to the top right to balance the card and added the
peel-off sentiment. Love this card! Perfect for a teenage girl; collage student
or young adult.
That’s all for a snowy; wet; dreary Thursday
Cheers
