Hello again, sweet friends...so, here's the thing...I'm scheduling this post in advance because when you see this, I'll actually be cruising with my DH in the Carribbean!! So, this will be a quick post because I'm probably late for the next buffet!!
Today's challenge is hosted by our very own, incredibly talented, DT darlin', Cabio! She's given us this gorgeous photo as inspiration...
Hmmmmmm....what to do, what to do.... So many wonderful elements in this photo! But I chose to focus on the neutrals...with this gorgeous "Ella Blue" DP from GCD...and this adorable and quite irresistable "Cherry Tilda" available from Diana at Magnolia-licious
HERE.
I decided to color Tilda with neutrals...almost giving her clothing some sepia tones...and then a pop of color for the cherries. I used Copics...and added a touch of "At You Spica" glitter ink to the cherries!
And a couple of "artsy" views...
Here's a bit more of my card "recipe"...
Cardstock: Very Vanilla & Chocolate Chip (SU)
Dies: Doohickey lace die (Magnolia); circle & eyelet nesties (Spellbinders)
Cuttlebug embossing folder
Ribbon, lace, & "chocolate" pearls: my stash
Flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts
Pearl flourish: Zva creative
And here are the Copics I used on this little sweetheart...
So there you go, kiddos! Now...pop on over to Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog and check out the gorgeous creations by the rest of the DT!
