With Smiles

Hello -

I've been up awhile...my current sleep schedule is nuts. Three am to 6-6:30 am and then may be a nap mid-day 11ish for an hour or so, then my main sleep seems to be from 5:30 pm to 11 ish.  So early mornings, I can watch tv downstairs or make cards so I don't wake hubs.


This card is going to The Color Throwdown, Pink Orange and Yellow.  I used a couple of shades of each color on this whimsical card.  The die is Bloomin Cute from The Stamp Market. I cut all pieces 3 times, added a lighter shade to the solid pieces, and a darker shade to the open pieces of the flower only.  Two of the stems were de-leafed and one was cut shorter; I added them to the card base without coloring them to meet the challenge colors. I quite like how it turned out. The sentiment comes from Mama Elephant.



Thanks for visiting.
