This is the first card I've made in a month! ACK! On top of work and sports keeping us so busy, we got windows replaced. That meant that I had to move everything in my craftroom away from the window and paint the trim before I could move it back. It feels so good to get a card made and posted. I'm so glad to have you all still here to inspire me and get my creative juices flowing again. Here are the challenges I combined for this card:
WT969 - Lisa challenged us to use Nuvo drops on our cards today. I used mine in a slightly unconventional way. I painted my image with Nuvo Dream Drops. It's nearly impossible to see in the picture, but the bunny, hamster, and balloon all have a wonderful iridescent shimmer. I also added spots of Stickles to some parts of the DP. Another thing you can't really see. Especially because I forgot to put the Stickles on the dots in the circle on this card.
SSMISJUN - I'm way behind on my monthly image swap cards. Terry chose this one. My card is finally off to Shelly today. I hope she finds it's worth the wait.
CC968 - Karen chose some really lovely colors this week!

You can back with a winner here....so darn cute!! I can't believe you painted with the nuvo drops....very clever. Great doodle outlines on all the layers. Glad you're back in your craft room and sharing fun projects with us.

Oh, how I love your clever way to use Nuvo Drops. So thrilled to see you back! I hope you are all done moving stuff back into your craft room. I am sure that had to be a real chore. I bet those great boys were very helpful too. Thank you so much for joining my challenge, I have missed seeing you in the gallery.

Super cute! Love the animals with the balloon. Wonderful use of the challenge colors. Always love some sparkle and bling. Your hand doodled borders are fabulous. Great card!
