So this is one of those cards that actually took me forever to put together and it still looks a little odd. Maybe I'm out of practice since I haven't made anything in so long. Anyhow, I didn't want to waste paper so I just left it like this. Hopefully the recipient won't care, it's the birthday thought that counts, right?
First I printed out the image a little too big so this is actually a 5x7 card. I thought it might be easier to color (and stay in the lines) if it was larger. I realize I'm kind of a messy colorer. Luckily I could erase the stray colored pencil marks. Not so lucky with the heart flowers since I used a Bic marker and some RV Copics! I actually got the 3 Copics in the RV family from Michaels when they had a 50% off coupon. Was that bad of me to take my son and give him a coupon too so I could buy 2 Copics at a time, since it was only 1 coupon per customer? Anyhow, coloring the dress messed me up, but I didn't want to toss it since I already spent so much time coloring the face and hair. Then I had to look for a sketch, luckily I found the March Sketch For You to Try that seemed to fit. I was trying to find a way to fit the cute heart flower border that came with the digi, but oh well. Ended up stamping and white embossing the PTI background basics hearts since I couldn't find matching patterned paper. Maybe I should have gotten the new monochromatic patterned paper packs. Going with the heart theme, used the PTI Tag-its (plus I saw it just sitting there in the front of the box since I just used it for making school valentines). Also used PTI cardstock in Raspberry Fizz and Plum Pudding, and the light pink is Bazzill. Photo corner is a Martha Stewart punch.
OK, that's about it for me...for probably a while...I should actually be studying...my brain doesn't seem to function so well in study mode anymore...takes me 10 times as long to read stuff nowadays...
