FEELING BLUE

Good morning, It is Monday and almost time to get ready for work. I just wanted to stop by and post this card that I finished yesterday. I finally got my new office chair put together and I love it. it is big and comfortable. I bought it at Sam's and I'm so glad that I spent the money instead of waiting. It feels better than the one I was looking at at Office Depot and it cost less. So that is a good sellling point.

My card is another Mo image and I did some paper piecing on the dress. It is a birthday card. You can never have to many birthday cards. I colored it with copics E31, E33, E21, E25, B21, B32, B000 and my blue spica glitter pen. The paper is the Paper Studio and the checked paper in my first layer is just from my stash. It was some that my daughter sent me. The flower is from Recollection's at Michaels, $.49 a pack. They were clearanced out last week. The ribbon is from my stash as are the brads. The sentiment is one I made up just for this card. My printer is still not working so I had to hand write it. (I have got to call Kodak and get this taken care of). I embossed the second layer with the birthday folder from Cuttlebug. The sketch is from Diva Coffee Break Designs

As you can see, I am still working on my skin tones and trying different techniques and colors. And working on my shading.

I hope here you can see where I paper pieced her arms and dress. When you look at the card up close it really looks like she is pointing and has her hand on her hips.  This card will be entered into a few challenges. They are as follows
