In honor of the sparkling sunshine today, I have a nice bright card.
I really like this little frame girl from Stamping Bella. She reminds me of Meghan.
I colored her with copic markers and I tried to make her hair a "dirty" blond (just to change things up a bit) using prismacolor pencils and baby oil. And I added just a dab of stickles to the center of the flower.
The sentiment stamp is from the larger mixed messages set from Papertrey. That's a really great set of sentiments if you were looking for a range of sentiments. And the larger size is really nice to work with.
The stripes paper is from KI Memories and the polka dots are from Papertrey.
I went back and forth on this design. I had the polka dots to the left side of the card but I always do that layout so I decided to center things up for a change.
Spring break is moving along - finally some sunny and (semi) warm weather has brightened things up quite nicely. I'm off - need to be ready for Idol results. Have a great night!
Ooohh...I've not seen the frame girl from Stampin' Bella - she's great! Looks super versatile! Love what you did with her and the color combo!!

I like the stripes in the middle...Isn't it funny how we gravitate to the same layouts/sketches...gotta purposely try other things...I now I do!

Cute! I so like your simple style. That stamp reminds me of my DD when she was little too. Great job on the hair.

I like the "just because" sentiment. It makes it nice for so many of those times when you just want to send a card for no reason than "just because!" I like the orange color, too. It is very cheery.
