Lucy’s FIRST Color Challenge

Lucy's FIRST COLOR CHALLENGE...check it out  :)

CIMG1428

I am so excited for Lucy to post her first color challenge. Lucy is so lovely and I adore her and admire her work. Check it out http://hedgehogsandladybirds.blogspot.com/ I had to make a special card for Nikki who is turning 30 years old Friday. Nikki is a very special young woman and I really admire her in many ways. I hope this makes the cut.
Background stamp is Hero Arts CG122 Branch Background. I traced and drew line is the leaves with a Spica glitter pen. The flowers are from PapertreyInk “In Bloom” I stamped on pink paper, distressed with Ranger Worn Lipstick…layered…and added dots. Added some highlights with a pink Copic marker as well. Paper is from Taylored Expressions. Antique button. Have a great night and thanks so so much for your comments. Hugs,Kathy
