Sending Good Wishes

Photo Details

Poster: Covington Crafter

Sabrina's celebrating the New Year with her WTUI challenge, Something Old, Something New...

Something old: Fiskars Texture Plate is at least ten years old
Something new: Lost Coast Design, Hero Arts, Stampendous stamps, Black Magic Core'dination Paper
Something borrowed: Polly (Peeps321) Photo Techniques
Something blue: Paper, Bubbles

I've always admired Polly's photo cards. She gets crisp great results and was kind enough to share her techniques with me! I stamped the sweet girl, some extra bubbles and the sentiment with Stazon ink. Then I colored the girl and sponged the panel with cotton swabs and Distress ink. I embossed and sanded the Black Magic paper, exposing the blue core. Mounted the image on the bg and blue card base. TFL

That soft textured and sponged background is a perfect pairing with your sweet old-fashioned girl entranced by the bubbles. I have a few of those old texture plates myself... though I managed to break my favourite one so it's no longer square :-(. What a great choice for your "borrowed", too, that's definitely very Polly.

I'm lovin' your Lost Coast little girl...one you got in Chehalis? Your bubbles and sanded background are absolutely perfect together! You'll have to share your photo techniques with me sometime...it's not my greatest skill.

Thank you for the Favorites pick...I was so under the weather, didn't get a chance to play!

Carla this is charming! I love the textured bg and your coloring of that vintage photo image is fabulous! You really did a great job with that technique. And I love the big bubbles and your coloring of those as well.

Carla I love the darling image and love the BG paper and the great blue bubbles that mirror the BG. This is just brilliantly put together. Fantastic job with Polly's technique. You really nailed it on this card.
