I know it's been a while . . .

Hello Again! 

I know that it has been a while since I last posted something.  Like everyone, I have been busy with work and family obligations.  I finally decided to dedicate some time this weekend to finish a couple of cards so that I would have something to show you.  I am excited to say that I got two completed and my room put back together.  Wow, did I ever have a mess. 

I have to admit that I have had the little girl colored for quite a while, but I just couldn't figure out how to put it all together and so I just kept stalling.  I knew that I wanted to stick to yellow and purple, but sill I struggled with it.  This is what I finally came up with...

The little girl is from CC's designs, from the Honey series, "bikini".  I colored her with Copic pens and used Spica pens on her sunglasses to make them glitter a little bit.  The sunglasses were stamped totally black, and so I didn't really have much of a choice on how to color them.  I used several Spellbinder shapes to add contrast and added pop dots to every layer for dimension.

       For the inside of the card I decided to decorated it with the same shapes and papers and I used a stamp sentiment from Stampendous.  I think it is a wonderful, warm saying and that it goes really well with a little girl sitting in her bikini.

Well, I hope that you were glad to see that I haven't given up my blog.  I will be back in a couple of days to show you my second card.  I think you will really like it.  It's got to be one of my favorites so far.  Hopefully I will see you back again soon.  Until then . . .
