Hi ya everyone!
I made this card for fun!! That's what I said for fun!! No special occasion just felt like coloring! This image "Donna" from Tiddly Inks was so much fun to color too! The whole weekend has been rainy in Portland and that was the inspiration for this card. Sometimes I have a hard time with my layout - so I turned to Card Patterns - they always have GREAT layouts and it's so much fun to see a sketch and turn it into my own. Copic Creations is also having a challenge to use the color orange! So I splashed a bit of orange in my image and in some surrounding flowers! Guess who is sponsoring them!! Yup, Tiddly Inks!!
I colored Donna in Copics and cut and embossed her with my circle nestables from Spellbinders.
Next, I found this nice green paper that matched the background paper perfectly and used my Scalloped circle nestables. I then cut a flower out on my Expressions from Walk In My Garden. I also cut a smaller circle out with my nestables and cut those into two separate pieces and mounted them on each side of my image. I also added a small brown ribbon and a stamped sentiment.
Oh, the background paper - isn't it CUTE!!! It's from American Crafts and it's called City Park - Woodland park! I love it! Finally, I added some glossy accents to the umbrella, rain boots and rain jacket! Thanks for taking a look and check out Card Patterns and Copic Creations for some great inspiration and a number of wonderful cards!!!
Enjoy!
