Life

Sorry this is such a late post today but I had all kinds of issues with this card!LOL! I made this card for todays SCS Free for all twine challenge. I used this weeks SCS colors-baja breeze, not quite navy, and cherry cobbler. I started with this weeks sketch also but it just wasnt working out so I had to move some stuff around. I had the hardest time trying to photograph this card for some reason today too and then I uploaded it wrong on SCS!LOL! You think someone was trying to tell me something?!LOL!



I love this image called Sisters from Tiddly Inks. I think it works for sisters or a mother and daughter image. For this card I stuck with sisters and colored the image like me and my lil sis. For the baja layer I stamped using linen and french script background and sponged the edges. While I was trying to find a sentiment for this card (I had bday on the brain since my lil man turned 8 years old today!) I ran across this sentiment from Treehouse and thought it would make a good bday sentiment. I really love how the card turned out and wish it showed on the photo. I think the person receiving it will love it though and thats why we do this right?!! I love seeing the smile on someones face when they see my card to them! Well thats its for me today. Im bday pooped and have to do it again tomorrow b/c its my MIL bday. Have a great weekend!

This is beautiful Shannon! I love how you used the colors and the kraft background is perfect! The image is so sweet and you've colored it fabulously...awesome work!(Even if the card fought you the whole way!) ;)

I just LOVE how you color, you always achieve such rich shades, and so beautifully blended. It was worth the work to upload! It's a beauty!
