Well, I just don't believe it. It's only Tuesday night....and I have made the Anita card for this week's challenge!! I'm WAY ahead of the deadline this time! (I hope it makes up for missing last week's AWESOME sketch that I totally hope to use some day, but I just didn't have time last week. *sniff*) I know it's pretty simple...but I wanted it to be. I didn't want to add anything to distract from the image or the background, you know? I see all these lovely creations with a million embellies but nothing is overshadowed....and I just can't do that yet. Still trying to get comfortable with them. LOL
I'm also using this for a Polka Doodles challenge that I thought was kind of interesting. It's a menu choice, where you can pick only one option from each category. The menu is:
Color: Pink or Turquoise
Image: Fairy or Butterfly
Embellishment 1: Ribbon or Lace
Embellishment 2: Pearls or Gems
I picked Turquoise, Fairy, Lace and Pearls.
Anyway, here's my card!
I used one of my favorite Anita fairies, as well as one of her sentiments. The lace with pearls I got at Michael's. Mini pearls are from Recollections. The ticket stamp around the sentiment is from Imaginisce. I stamped it, then colored over it with a turquoise Spica glitter marker, then outlined it with a black ballpoint pen. Fairy colored with Copics and crystal Stickles. Papers from the Sasha collection and Me and My Big Ideas.
I hope you like it!
