When I saw this week's colors I immediately thought of this stamps and that fun swim cap!
I colored this with a combo of Copic markers and Stampin' Blends to match the challenge colors. I haven't colored in a while and the girl came out fine but I had trouble with the dog. To correct that I used Prismacolors over him.
Then I had trouble with the layout. My advice is to plan your layout BEFORE creating your card....just sayin'.
I really enjoyed getting to color again and I can't wait to do more. My problem is that there are so many fun techniques and not enough time!

Well, if that isn't the cutest bundle girl ever! I love her--and love everything about this card, including the layout. Your coloring is superb, and what a fun way to use this week's colors. Into my fave's!

Super cute! I hear you about not enough time. I think your layout is terrific. I may case it. The girl's swim cap is adorable and so retro to the 1960's. You colored it all beautifully. Wonderful use of the challenge colors. I love the lime popsicle, which was my fav as a girl.

Oh my gosh, this is adorable! I love the flowery swim cap (I actually remember girls having those back in the '60's!). Aside from the darling image, I really like this layout with the panels bumped to the left edge. Faved!
