This is for my weekly CCEE challenge hosted by none other than JoJot. Jo has challenged us to make a get-well card in honor of Tax Day. Today is a day we in the U.S. dread. It is by this date that our federal taxes must be paid. This fact makes many people ill.
I used my sweet Little Lovins Girl with Hat image by Rubbernecker; she is watercolored with mostly SU inks except for the Ginger Adirondack ink I used on her hair and shoes and the gray Copic markers on the kitty she is holding. I stamped the background with a new Florals (#496-09) release also by Rubbernecker in Blush Blossom and Cameo Coral. I used the SCS sketch and color challenges for this week. The colors are Blush Blossom, Cameo Coral, and Ruby Red (with a dessert option of Close to Cocoa). The cocoa corduroy button is by Stampin' Up and the other buttons were gifted to me in a bag of pretty buttons by my friend Traci (thanks, Traci!)
If you'd like to see the projects my team mates made and/or play along in our challenge, you can get all the details on our CCEE blog:

this cheered me up on this awful day!!! your coloring is so awesome. I am so impressed with your shading. So hard for me. It is either too light, too blotchy or too much. You definitely have the technique down pat!!!! tfs.
