Happy Friday! I have a day off and have plans for some relaxation and putting some color combo tips together for my CMC Creative Background Class. I have been burning th minight oil and have had a few nights with less than 4 hours sleep so I also plan to sleep late if my fur and feather babies will cooperate! :D Do any of yoou have that problem with your little critters? I love them to death..... but really!
The Outlawz: Twisted Thursday has a challenge up for this week and it runs through Wednesday. Our wonderful Sponsor is Nicecrane Designs. He has so many wonderful images - regular and pre-colored - your choice. If you like vintage - you will love Nicecrane designs!
Our challenge this week is "SIGNS OF FALL!" 
This is just a pic of my work in progress - I colored the image with Copic alcohol ink markers and then I created a light WaterColor Wash background with speckles. I love this technque!
I punched some autumn colored leaves, molded them with my McGill Molding tools and added them to my focal image.
I am linking this card with the following wonderful challenges:
- The Outlawz: Twisted Thursday - Anything Goes (Twist: Signs of Fall)

You made this darling little girl look extra soft and sweet. It's a combination of the coloring of the image and the background technique. The edge sponging you did is also beautiful and makes it appear to be the (old fashioned) burnt edges that we did years ago. Very nice card. Yes we have our two Yorkies (my blog babies) and sometimes, Daisey the younger one will just wake up in the middle of the night and kiss my face and then paw at my arm so I will rub the back of her head. After a few minutes I'll say "Ok it's time to go to sleep now" and she just turns around and lays down and goes back to sleep. However, I cannot get back to sleep. URGHHH! Like you though they are our life and would be so lost without those disturbances. Enjoy your day off. Thanks for telling the world we are great students. Maybe that's because you are a great teacher. I'm enjoying the class very much. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteThank you Donna for your cute story! I love all my little guys and gals - Would never give then up! :D I like how your little guy then goes back to sleep and you are left wide awake! Haa
DeleteThank you too for your great encouragement. I would never say you were a great student if I didn't believe it with all my heart! :D
Hugs,
Marie

ReplyDeleteMarie, I have three Siamese cats and they are just perfect....I work nights as a nurse and they always let me sleep when I want, hehe. I know I live in a fantasy world. Unfortunately, I know what you mean, the more you want to get some desperately needed sleep the more interruptions you get. Your card is precious, I just love your coloring. I saw your beautiful creation on MIM.
ReplyDeleteDarling card I love this look. I saw your card on MIM. Great details. Wonderful look.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute awesome creation, very endearing. I spotted you over on MIM and came for a closer look and I am so glad that I did.
