Count on me when things get sticky...

 

Hi Lovely Blogging Buddies...

Happy Sunday!

I'm here today with my DT inspiration card for Whimsie Doodles..  I wanted to go for a brighter image and to try different colour tones than my norm - so I went for Lollipop Girl - (she's holding a mahoosive lollipop!) which also includes a separate sentiment that's perfect to send to someone who's having a bit of a struggle..


Card Recipe
Die: Dienamics Diagonal Stitched Squares (first time out for me!), Mama Elephant Confetti
Paper - Echo Park Hello Sunshine
Copic Colouring -
Skin - E000/00/21/11/04, R20
Hair: E21/34/23
Oranges: YR000/02/04, E08
Yellows: YR31/35
Pinks: RV32/34
Shading: B0000/000
Grounding: T0/T1
Lollipop Stick - C1

She really brightened my day as I made her...  and you never know, I may use yellow and orange again soon now I know they're not so scary!


Big Hugs...

    The lollipop looks great and the sentiment is perfect and yes, I could see it being perfect for someone going through a struggle. I have to have that die too!
