Cali Girl

Hi everyone!  Getting kind of late here, but it's been a pretty productive day, and I thought I would share my latest card with you.  It's another 'just because' card...I'm so glad I'm making time for that! This one is using the image Cali Girl by Hannah Lynn.  My daughter and I just love her images.  They are fun to color - especially their hair!  I went a little funky with the hair color, but am pleased with the result.  What do you think?

I'm not sure yet who this will got to, but another thing I want to be sure to do in 2016 is send cards!  I have so many, and I sell some, and send a few, but there are so many I want to start giving to friends and family.  Maybe to a stranger once in a while...you never know when you'll make someone's day, right?  Thanks for taking a look!

A Magical Read

How is everyone doing?  It's getting late here, but before I head off to bed, I would like to share a card I made today.  It's an image I've had for a few months, and I haven't had time to color her, due to all of my DT projects.  Well, today I decided that I wanted to make more time to color 'just because', and she is the first!  The image is A Magical Read from A Day for Daisies.  I just adore their images.  They are so beautiful and unique. I hope you like her:)

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11,E21, E93 & R11; hair - V93, V95 & V99; dress - Y21, Y17, Y32 & Y38; butterflies - B21, B24, BV0000, RV000, RV02 & RV04.  The image is printed on x-press paper.

Now, I have to tell you...when I decided to color her, I hopped on over to the A Day for Daisies Blog to check out the current challenge.  When I sae the challenge is to stitch it up, I had a little panic.  I am pretty crafty, but sewing is not my thing!  (Though I secretly wish to get a sewing machine and learn to use it on my cards and layouts).  Well, I looked around at what I had, and I found this beautiful paper from Bo Bunny that has stitching in the pattern! Perfect, right?  So I used this paper, along with Bazzill cardstock, Wild Orchid flowers, cheesecloth, dies by Dear Lizzy and Spellbinders, and Martha Stewart butterfly punches. What do you think?  Thanks for taking a look!  Have a fabulous weekend!
