Last weekend my son went to a classmate's 12th birthday party - and it was one of the girls - and boy did my daughter get some teasing time in over that - LOL!!! It also made me realise I needed more cards suited to younger girls - I think this one fits the bill pretty well! The other thing I was trying to be careful about was not putting too much height on this card. Recently I had to find a card in my stash to send off quickly - and they were all festooned with bulky flowers, bows and bling!!! NOT easy to pop in an envelope and send off - but what can I say - I DO love that look and usually have to send them off in specially made or bought boxes - LOL! At least these butterfly wings will fold down, the ribbon has a knot instead of a bow, and the bling is all small - mission accomplished.
My DP is from my Basic Grey Kioshi paper pad - this is such a BEAUTIFUL range!

Oh I hear ya Debbie on the bulky card thing. I wish the flowers were a little flatter, but still had layering! I just love the look though of the flowers, so......

This is gorgeous Debbie! It definitly celebrates Spring with all those beautiful butterflies! I love this image, think I might need to get it!
ReplyDeleteWow Debbie, this is amazing. I've had such a hard time coloring this one up. I'm using yours as a guide, she's beautiful. I love how you used the mauves. I've not been able to figure out how to shade white yet with the copics. I've tried C1, and W00, but nothing gives me the tones I'm looking for. Beautiful job.

This is so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting that your seasons are reversed. Since I've been told by so many that I'd "fit right in" in Aussie-land, I think I shall craft a plan to visit Australia from November through to April.... each year! :)
Very sweet - love those glittery butterflies.
ReplyDeleteThis is all so lovely. Such wonderful colouring and I love how it all goes together.
ReplyDeleteLove the sweet lace heart "doily", Debbie! And ... what a gorgeous image! I imagine this was a hit with the girl who had the party. Brownie points for your son, for sure!!! Hugs, Andrea xx

She is awesome. Good for Tracey! You are the perfect person to color these images and make them look spectacular! Love all the pastels going on too. Sounds like Mom might have a twinge or two about her "little boy" growing up too!! That's okay, we all go through it....

Debbie, Alice is wonderful in her gorgeous spring garden. Your colouring is stunning and I love the beautiful papers and sparkly butterflies. Hugs Jodie from Oz
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is sooooo pretty! I love that Kioshi paper, too. It's the perfect Spring paper.
ReplyDeleteSo funny to think you are into fall, while we're just starting spring. I think I should live in Oz during our summer so that I can have year-round winter. That should break me of my love for cold weather, don't you think? haha!
