When I read about this, I knew it was time to ink up my new favorite line of stamps - Lil Lolitas. I was lucky enough to win Willow on the first peek and the new 60's Mod Ivy on the second peek. {I can't wait for my new stamps to get here!!} I colored Willow with Copics and went to my reader to decide what sketch to use...Mojo Monday #146 to the rescue!
The background paper was the inspiration for the color scheme - such fun, bright colors! I am truly addicted to the Hawaiian Shores Copic trio - love, love, love it! I didn't buy the paper because I have a few sheets of SU Bermuda Bay left - can you say exact match?? I was rearranging my desk in the Stamp Cave and found these little floral embellies again. I thought they resembled the flowers Willow is holding, so I colored them with Copics, stacked two together, added a dab of glue to the center and sprinkled it with some fine yellow glitter. I like how they frame her. The sentiment was embossed down in the right corner and needed to be balanced, so black pearls were added to the remaining corners.
I wanted to send Grace a little something extra. I was a huge reader as a child - still am - so I thought she needed a bookmark; hopefully, it is something she will use and will make her smile. I also stamped out some cute stamps for her to color on her own - a mixture of Motivet, CC Designs, Greeting Farm, Kraftin' Kimmie, etc. Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you all have a great day! :o) lyss Because I can't help but play along in other challenges, here is the list of challenges that this also applies to:
