This has been a week. I don't know if I ever mentioned that I got rear ended at the end of October or not but, yes I did. Well after finally getting my car fixed, it did look good for a 12 year old car, I drove it for only a few days and it rained. Well imagine my surprise when I opened my trunk and found water standing in it. As soon as I got to work I called the dealer who had done the repair work to let him know what was going on and he said to bring it in. When I got in the car to take it to the dealer I found water all the way through out the inside of the car. What a way to start your day. I sometimes think that the universe is having a joke at my expense. Well anyway I got my car back once again. The dealer says that he sealed it up. And I pray that is so. Can you imagine me riding down the highway and the bottom of my car falls out because it has rusted out from all of the water that was in. And there I sit... What a joke that would be.
Ok, on to my card. My card today is all about the DIVA in us... it is for 2 challenges the first over at Tellens Place, where if you look on my blog to the right, I was in the top 3 for their last challenge. This challenge was to use pink and red for more of a Valentine's theme. The image is also from Tellens Place it is one of three freebies that they offered this week. I could not resist. I colored with my Copics; E09,E33 anE37 on the hair. The skin I used E31 and E33. The dress I used R27, R29 andR39. On the top of the dress and the shoes I also use my spica red glitter pen for a little shimmer. The paper is from the Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby. I used the scalloped circle Nesstibilites for my cut out shapes. I really enjoyed making this card. The pink and red roses were given to me by a friend in the most wonderful goodie bag. What a friend?
Oh, I almost forgot. The sketch is from Friday sketchers and I will enter this card in that challenge also.
Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
a fabulous card. hugs rachxx
ReplyDeleteJoyce, incredible! ;D What an awesome take on the pink and red challenge. I love those roses and what a beautiful job on coloring! I don't have E31, so thanks for adding that info because I could use it. So sorry about your car troubles getting rear ended, ugh - I hate that! I'm holding on to my 1998 F150...no leaks so far. :) Hope it all works out now that it's sealed up. Thanks for playing along with us at Tellen's Place! ;D
ReplyDeleteI love your card Joyce! You did a beautiful job coloring your lady in red! I can see the highlites in her hair too. You are just getting better and better at using those copics! I need to get busy practicing.
