Girls, I just wasn't sure about this color combination at first! But I came to like it when all was said and done! Come take a look. This is also for the Monday MOJO sketch.
Someone I know has a special birthday this week, can you guess which one? The images are from Crafty Secrets Sweet Kids set. I used Copics to color my little girl and paper pieced the umbrella and grassy field. Basic Grey's cloud paper is behind. The number blocks are part of K&Co's cut and paste paper collection. I mounted them on foam squares. The ticket border is from Stampers Anonymous. It was inked with Tim Holtz distress ink Walnut Stain and embossed with clear. I added SU's Ballet Blue to the left vertical using D'Vine Swirls and the Garden Green was punched with the Fiskars eyelet punch. I added a bit of staples...don't know why, but I like the edge the tiny metal gives. My card base is GP white.
So let me know how I did with the colors and the sketch! Have a great day, I'm very soggy with all our recent rains, but what's a bit of water?????
