The Best Is Yet to Be

Happy Saturday everyone, I hope you have all had a productive day. It has taken me longer to get anything done today, because I had to take care of all of those pesky little details that keep our daily lives running smoothly. So all though I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to do. I did not get as early a start as I normally do. But, hey I got to play and am still playing. And I guess that means that I have nothing to complain about. So, on to my first card.

For those of you who have seen my work, you know this has something to do with a challenge. (love a good challenge). This one is for Tellen's Place, this week Terry offered a couple of freebies, and I chose to use one of them. Plus, she has a sketch which is unusual for her but a I am always open for something new.

Before I go any further, I would like to thank Tellen's Place for choosing my last card as a winner. And to let Terry and all of the DT's know how much I love their challenges and the blog. Thanks so much.

Now, I colored the card with my Copics:
Hair: E09, E21, E3 (I do love the red hair)
skin: E31, E33 (I really should start trying different skin tones)
Outfit: R29, R27 and a little R39
shoes/hat: spica glitter pen (lipstick)
I outlined with R02 (which I am not really happy with, but it is to late to change it)

The card base is cardstock from the Paper Studio, the DP is from a pack of paper that my daughter sent after the Michaels near her home was moved to another location. I have had this paper for over a year and could not get excited about it, the colors seemed kind of dull for scrapbooking. But when I cut some of the sheets down to 6x6 squares, I could see that for card making the colors worked better. The sentiment is  from Daisy Bucket. The ribbon is Jacqueline Smith, bought at Kmart from the Christmas clearance sale. They were the only store in town to still have a lot of Christmas items still left last week. I plan to go back tomorrow to see if they have dropped their prices anymore.

This was another instance where I colored 2 images and then used pop dots to give a little dimension to the card. The charm is from Stamp and Create (Wags & Whiskers)
