first up do you like my new background? thanks to my clued up friend in CT you are a star, not mentioning names, just now everyone will be emailing for new backgrounds, lol
duh! i didnt color the cheeks until after i had posted the card, what a shmendrick?
We have a fab new challenge on Mo's challenge blog, stitching real or faux. I love stitching on my cards, but always think of it as a mission to pull out my sewing machine. I used "Georgia" for my image and then these papers i purchased a week or so ago from the local supplier of papermania papers. I so seldom use lilacs or purples as i seem to have a real problem when i use them, but am quite happy as i think the new paper helped a lot.
then i just had to add a flourishy pearly bit up the side of my card as i havent done it for quite some time, i had such fun doing this card so i hope it inspires you to join our challenge this week on Mo's dp 2 challenge blog, i stitched each of my layers just to prove i was in the groove, ha ha
have a great week

P.S: copics i used for the lilacs: BV17, BV13, B63, B60
can you spot the difference?

Been living in a Nit picking world these past two days and missed this post. This card is stunning and no one would ever know that you have trouble working with purple! Your coloring is fabulous! Love the layout and you've finished the inside beautifully! Hugs...Barb...<><
ReplyDeletePaola, this is adorable. Love the colors and coloring, kind of a monochromatic feel. Love the embellishments pearls and stitching which are perfect for Georgia.

ReplyDeleteI do like your new background. It is really fun. Your card is beautiful Paola. I love the purples.. great job.
ReplyDeleteI love how you colored her. Most cards I've seen of her have been done in really bold colors. I rather like the lilac. Super cool!
