My time at hosting TPT challenges when 5 Tuesdays fall in a month has been short and sweet. Unfortunately the short notice received about the recipient makes it difficult and stressful to get the story out on time, so this will be the last adventure from Whykickamoocow.
Here we have Kate singing her heart out at the Whykickamoocow Talent Show. If you are thinking that Kate looks a bit grubby, you would be correct. She wore this dress to school, then to footy practice, followed by a quick game of hopscotch and completely lost track of time. There is no time to change into the beautiful dress her mum had made especially for the occasion, not to worry, nothing much bothers Kate, she just loves singing!!
Now for the true story. I coloured Kate's dress in a really pretty pink, trouble was my copic colouring hasn't improved and it looked like 6 year old had done it. I have discovered that orange distress inks go really well over the top of pink copics. Distress inks are sometimes a bit too bright so I did my usual thing and gently sponged over the image with walnut stain. I think I got a bit carried away LOL.
The background diecut is a one off. I used an alphabet die for the first time; it came with all the letters joined together. I did one cut, then I just wanted to do Kate's name in a different colour....so I unsnapped the little things holding the die together, now I have individual letter tags......oops.
I hope this finds everyone happy and well. Thank you for looking.

Had lost my gallery notifications, but I am back - sorry if I missed anything! This "KATE" card is super wonderful! The excitement in her body language is the perfect expression of the JOY of a child doing what she loves - Kate looks none the worse for where - she is in her "zone" doing what she loves! Your taggy BG is so cool and your story is the bomb!!
I agree you should be writing and know you would be a huge success!! Hugs!
