Cafe de Paris

Hi there!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  It's already been busy here and even though it's late, I still managed to finish a card I was making for a couple of challenges - the Make it Colourful Challenge #47 (Color Green) and the Copic Challenge #39 on Suzanne Dean's Color Me Creative Classroom (anything goes). 

Here is my card for the challenges:


I started with a card base of GKD Fresh Asparagus and layed with patterned paper from the Basic Grey Boxer 6x6 pad.  For my focal image, I merged two digis from the recent Paris release from Three Companies Team Up (Whimsy Stamps, Make it Colourful and Little Miss Muffet Stamps).  I enlarged and cropped the Cafe de Paris Digi Stamp from Make it Crafty then added the elegant Evelyn from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored most everything in shades of green.  I think I used almost every green and yellow-green Copic I have - lol!  I added a bit of Stickles to her hat, shoes and jewelry for a little sparkle.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I believe it was one of the freebies Paulette generously offered recently.  I thought it was perfect for my Parisian scene.  Some lace and a few Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to be hopping by to visit a little more tomorrow.  Today just got away from me!

See you soon!
