A Pink and Rosy Day!

I am having so much fun playing with the new La-La Land Crafts images, especially with Marci.  She is just the cutest and sweetest!  Owner Irina Blount and her partner-in-crime Eric have done such wonderful work creating the Marci and Luka images! :)

I made a card a few days ago and came upon a stumbling block so I left the card alone for a couple of days. The beautiful weather here in California has been so inspiring for me to create a cheery card.

Below is my card with Marci with Rose that I will be entering to La-La Land Crafts' Customer Gallery for this month, as well as for Cute Card Thursday's challenge - Anything Goes!

 Supplies:

Bazzil red and pink cardstock

Basic Grey designer paper

Hero Arts sentiment, stamped with Versa Color Orchid ink

Nestabilities petite oval and oval scallop die-cuts

Cuttlebug Spots and Dots embossing folder

Queen and Company red swirl ribbon

Marci with Rose colored with Copics:

E00, E01 - skin

E33, E35 - hair

R35, R37 - rose and Marci's lips

RV02, RV32, RV34 - dress and hat

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Dedication To A Compassionate Person

Sadly, I found out this week that my friend passed away unexpectedly.  She had such a love for life and compassion for others.  She had touched so many lives and will be missed.

My card for entry to challenges for La-La Land Crafts and Cute Card Thursday was originally going to be a birthday card for my friend.  I thought about not finishing the card after hearing about her passing, but I know she would have wanted me to complete my card for a different purpose.  I decided to give the card to her mom for her to have in her daughter's memory.

La-La Land's challenge was to create something using any image from their store and use the sketch below created by DT member Lisa Hjulberg:

Cute Card Thursday is called "Mono Mania." Entry should focus on one main color.  I chose pink, as this was my friend's favorite color.

Here is my card for both challenges:

I used LaLa with Rose, since she resembles so much of my friend.  I used the following Copic colors to color La-La:

E35, E00, RV34, R20, B45, YG63, W1 and the colorless blender

Cardstock is from Bazzil.  Designer paper is from My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary collection.  I used my Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder for the front of the card and the background frame for La-La.  I cut the frame and La-La using my Nestabilties petitie oval and petitie oval scallop die cuts.  The designer paper was cut, also using my Nestabilities small circle and small circle scallop die cuts.  The sentiment is from Just Rite, stamped using Versa Color Opera Pink ink.  Ribbon is from May Arts.  Pearl on La-La's dress is from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by.
