SENDING YOU MY LOVE..............

Hi everyone........

sold

A goofy little story about my card today.

I was away from home and had taken my markers and some images with me so I could work on them if I had a chance to do so.  Well, I did find a bit of time to color. I was coloring this very cute little image for my card today. I wasn't even thinking about the papers that I was going to put with it! You see I normally pick my papers. Then I color my images to match. Well, not this time!!

The cute little clothes on this image just screamed all of those fun and funky NO MATCH COLORS or it's going to clash colors!!  

Okay WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?!? LOL..

I just knew that when I arrived home and tried to find papers for this image it wouldn't happen!!  Then just what was I going to do with this image? But it was an easy day for me when I started to look through my papers. I found my Basic Grey Sugar Rush Pad and open it and the first paper I turned to did have all of those same funky fun colors that I had used on the image!!! So I guess that I am not the only one that puts green, orange, pink, purple and black together!! LOL..  Now I was thinking to self.. Just how am I going to use this and not have it over welm my cute little image.

I swear if its not one thing its another. If I don't do my crafty things in the normal order. It just normally will not work out!! But this one did. I think!

This is what I came with,....

What do you think?

I surprised myself......And I really do like the out come on this one.

The image can be found at Krista's little  Etsy store HERE.  This one that I have used today just happens to be a freebie image 'Canary Love' from a few weeks back.
