I wanted to use bold beautiful colors for the image. I kept debating on markers or pencils. Finally decided the markers gave it a little more umph. I picked BasicGrey Indian Summer for the paper - which is where I got my colors for the image. After coloring the image I added pearls to it as well. I punched the image out using my Giga Scalloped Circle Punch. The sentiment is from The Angel Company and is available as a Hostess C set. Many times I see wonderful sketches on blogs that I don't always have time to use. I usually copy them and print out sheets to put in a notebook for use later. This sketch came from Verve's Spring Fling - love that it was perfect for the circles.
I have to tell you my hubby LOVED this card! I'm so used to doing cutesy that it's hard for me to change that up. It was fun though and I am pleased with the results. What do you think?
I'm anxious to see what the other design team members did with Labyrinth of Love this week. Be sure to stop by their blogs - links are in the sidebar! Visit the Softpencil Blog to see how you can get this image (along with many others) for yourself!
I leave you with a picture from the St. Patrick's Day parade. It was pretty cold out - there was wind, a little drizzle and no sun. But as you can tell Abby didn't mind at all...
I think all the free candy, shirts and beads helped with that, lol! Thanks for stopping by! Join me tomorrow for another Christmas card Friday!!
