Staying Young

Hi there!  Hope you're having a great day!  I'm back with another quick post because I wanted to share the card I made for a couple of challenges and the deadline for one of them is fast approaching!  My card is for Sketch Saturday #198, Simon Says Stamp (a bit of green) and the new challenge on Guylou's Inimitability blog (monochromatic).

Here is SS-198:


And here is my card for the challenges:


I flipped the sketch to vertical.  I started with a card base of SU Certainly Celery and layered with patterned papers from the GCD Studios Melody Ross Soul food 8x8 pad.  My image is Leah At The Cocktail Party from Guylou's Inimitabilty.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copics.  I added some Glossy Accents to the glass and some Crystal Stickles to look like salt on the rim of her margarita.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  It's part of the Random Thoughts 4 set in Paulette's store here.  I added a bunch of flowers from my stash to finish my card.

Thanks for stopping by again!  I always appreciate your visits!  Have a great weekend and see you soon!

    Hi, Carla, this is absolutely gorgeous! Love it!
    I never lie about my age. It's not my fault that Peeps don't believe I'm 22!

    All that green looks perfect for today even if you posted it yesterday. I love those yummy flowers.

    Carla, I have some blog candy that I posted today if you're interested.
