Lily Pad Palette Color Challenge

Hello Friends, It’s me again  as promised 🙂 with a new color palette challenge from Lily Pad.

Hang in there
I just think this little critter is the cutest…he’s a digi image from “Clear Dollar Stamps” and when you click over to Lily Pad they will have the link for you and inspiration from the other DT members. 

I just had to break out my favorite Penny Black background stamps for this card and my Martha Stewart glitter. For the sun I used the inverted circle die from Spellbinders and the circles too. (I am always reaching for the circles)

I printed the sentiment on some card stock and used this die to create a decorative tag.

Lots of distressing and I used the glitter for some highlights and some pizazz.

I used Copic markers to color him and a white colored pencil to add highlights.  I had to show you his teeth…this is what happens when you don’t brush and floss…lol…. I colored them yellow!! Lots of Glossy Accents on his nose and teeth too. I will be back in a few hours for a blog hop for a wonderful cause….this one so please stop back and see you soon. Hugs, Kathy
Yes there will be great prizes too 🙂
