You Make Me Smile!
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Whimsey

 I wanted to use an image to brighten someone's day - not just focus on the battle they may be fighting, but just a cheery, happy card. So I used Buddy's Balloons and incorporated lots of pink! The inside says "You Make Me Smile", perfect for Splitcoaststampers Challenge "Hope You Have a Great Day" which is part of their Hope You Can Cling To Challenge Forum for MD Anderson.

Layout is Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #194 (SSSC194); I thought Buddy was getting lost amongst all the pink, stripes, dots, etc. so I tried the Bokeh technique...um yeah...not sure I like how it turned out! :( The image is cut with just a portion of the balloon outside the nestie, then I colored a 2nd balloon, cut it out and mounted with dimensionals. I added glossy accents to the balloon and to Buddy's nose, I also added some white gel dots to the party hat.

My 4 year old is next to me and he is TOTALLY impressed that there is a puppy holding a balloon on your card. It is so cute! Great job mixing patterns and creating a genuinely festive feeling! The slick nose is a great little detail that just amps everything up.

Well, if he isn't the cutest puppy ever! Love your mix of pinks and greys, and he looks like he's being showered with confetti - it's perfect! Thank you for supporting Hope You Can Cling To!!
