Hip Hip Hooray...


As many of you already know, I don't work well with bright colors. I've tried and tried, but they just don't inspire me to get creative. Just this past weekend I purchased a 6 X 6 stack of paper by Memory Box called 'brioche'. I did not purchase this pack for the Sour Cherry pages, but for the Cloudy Blues and Buttery Creams. I also received my images from "Winner Takes All" collection from Magnolia-licious. Cute, cute, cute!

I was having a hard time deciding which image I would use first, so I just picked one, AND, I decided to start off with the red hot ones which are called Sour Cherry. I pared these sheets with some YoYo card stock from SU.

Here is my card....

The sentiment is computer generated and placed on a Fancy Label die from Spellbinders.


Here's an angular view of the card...


A side view of the card shows the embossing on the white card stock and the sentiment label is popped on double width of dimensionals. The corners are done using my Cuttlebug dies and the flowers are from my stash.


Here are the Copics I used to color my image -

Skin - E00,000,0000,11, Chalk for cheeks
Hair - C9, 7, 5, 3
Outfit, shoes and pompoms - Y35, 15, 11; R27, 08, 12, E19

    Well I for one think you have mastered bright colours. Sher is wonderfully bright and cheery. I like how you have extended another label cut under the flowers. Beautiful job Barb.
