On My Mind

Good afternoon!  Happy Monday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  The weather has certainly changed here!  Yesterday was sunny and 75 and today is cloudy, rainy and 35.  I'll be glad when we are having mostly the former type or weather!  It won't be long, I'm sure.  At least we aren't getting snow like some of my friends and family!  Anyway, I'm popping in quickly to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I enjoy doing when I have time and I did find a little time for the craft room yesterday.

Here is my card:
 

My easel card base and mats are SU Lucky Limeade and the patterned papers are from the Kaisercraft Devonshire 6x6 pad.  The beautiful digi image is Come Softly by ching chou kuik for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I printed her on Hammermill Digital Color Cover Stock and colored her with my Copics.  I added a few accents with my White Paint Pen.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A doily and a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:


Thanks for stopping by!  I just got home, so I'll be around to visit soon!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Sentimental Sundays # 196 (sketch and use a sentiment)
Sweet Pea Stampers (make an easel card)
One Sweet Challenge (scream for green)
Sweet Pea Stamp Fans and Friends FB Art Contest (any creation with a Sweet Pea Stamp)

Here is the Sentimental Sundays sketch (I flipped it):


Enjoy the rest of your day!

    It's a beautiful easel card, Carla. I really love all the green. I guess it reminds me of green grass and the green leaves I'm wanting sooner than it is possible. Next month, we'll have that, though. Can't wait.

    Hey, we actually had lots of rain on Saturday and our weather cooled off, too, with highs in the 60's. We are headed back up to 80 this week.

    Wow, love the easel card and another gorgeous image. Today we had the funeral and unfortunately for the burial it was 8 so it was rather chilly.

    So very lovely. I love the fun green color. My bedroom was actually painted that color when I was in high school. I loved it, but was alone in that.

    Gorgeous coloring.

    Thanks for joining us at the Sweet Pea Stampers.
