Today's color challenge includes red, white, and silver or grey. I can count on one hand the number of cards I've made with this shiny silver card, but I wanted the silver to be really evident - the sentiment is computer generated, and I have several friends who have a deep relationship with their hair straighteners who I could send this to! Someone gave me this SU stamp set from 1999 so I've no idea of the name of it - the image is colored with copics. I've always had trouble blending copics in the color red so have been watching some tutorials by Suzanne J. Dean, which were helpful, though still need lots of practice.
Here is a link to her tutorials for those interested: http://www.scrapbitz-tutorialsandtem....blogspot.com/
I cut out a scalloped circle and used the square lattice ef on it. The clouds were cut with a Papertrey Ink cloud die and sponged across the bottom with silver embossing ink.

You have outdone yourself today, Bridget. This is amazing. The coloring on your 'frizzy-haired' girl is perfect. The silver lining on the clouds, genius. Beautifully executed.
