Colored the image with copics and pencils using the packaging to get an idea how to create the folds in the flap of her purse. Used glossy accents on those fun glasses. Had no background papers to match. Some time ago SCS had a technique by Dina where you put drops of ink, water and soap in a cup and blow bubbles through a straw. As luck would have it found that piece and it matched. It became my background. Thanks for looking!

WOW! Miss Nancy, You continually amaze me. Your choice of colors and the coloring are the best! Just the touch of brown in the BG piece totally sets the image off! Well done, my friend! tfs

You have the sweetest of images, Nancy. This is such a precious little girl with her oversized (gigantic) glasses. You've colored her to perfection. No surprises there. How great to be able to have on hand some handmade dsp. I agree: it's in harmony with your colors. Extra special.

Nancy, I love this. It is colored wonderfully! And that bg piece is great! How perfect that technique is, with this , too. The bubble like effect matches her glasses. . Thanks for posting your lovely card.
