I'm an elementary school administrator and my favorite time of the day is greeting children when they come in from the bus. Girl's coats are often an inspiration for me for color combinations to use for cards. A particularly quiet second grader (who tries to go unnoticed) has a coat that combines all of these colors. I made this card for her.
Her coat has circles on it, so I incorporated them into the background paper. I punched the bigger circles in soft sky and Baja breeze. The smaller circles are white and going gray. I then ran it through my CB with the Sizzix snowflake EF to give it some texture. The sentiment is heat embossed. The fairy is colored with Copics. SU rhinestones and Stickles add the finishing touches and a bit of bling!
