I would like to annouce that yesterday was the arrival of my first GreatGrandson Jackson. He is absolutely gorgeous and we are thrilled.
For the CC311 challenge today we are to use Perfect Plum, Rose Red and Always Artichoke.
I substituted PP with Groovy Grape from MFP and the other colors are in the dp that is from DCWV/Safari Chic.
The set is Big Cats by Mark's Finest Papers.
I stamped the image with a med. Tan and dark brown then colored the eyes a purple color and added some Amythist gems.
On the foliage I decided to line cut some of the outer leaves to give it some depth.
For the image I angled slightly under the foliage to make him look like heÂ’s peering at you thru the branches.
For the desert we are to use hardware. I used a beautiful floral button in pewter.
