Hi everyone. Today's card is for the SCS Color Challenge this week (CC400 - retro challenge - pick one of three previous color challenges). I chose Color Challenge 356 - lime, teal, gray ... love these colors together. I made a non-traditional colored Christmas card using a sweet stamp from Stampendous (Birdie) that I purchased after seeing a card made with this image by my good friend (and enabler) Pam Sparks ... thanks Pam!
This little girl is so adorable. I colored in her face and hair with copics (and the birdie) and then paper pieced her outfit. Not only did I paper piece, by I added layers so that there's some depth as well. I finished her outfit by adding clear stickles to the fur trim. I added a strip of the same designer paper at the top of the page, as I used for her scarf, hair ribbon and stockings ... and trimmed it with a thin strip of Kiwi Kiss. I added the same two strips to the inside bottom of the card to add interest. Hope you like.
Stamps: Birdie (Stampendous); Wishing you Joy (Kolette Hall)
Paper: White (C.C. Designs); Kiwi Kiss (SU!); Hellow Sunshine DP (Bo Bunny)
Ink: Basic Black (SU!); Copics E000, E00, E01, E44, E77, BG57, B99, W4, 0 (colorless blender)
Accessories & Tools: Stamp-a-ma-jig, glue, clear stickles, sponge, and adhesives

All that fussy cutting paid off Lolly girl. Cute cute cute.
I'm not usually a big fan of 'cuties' on cards Loll, but you have made an inspirational card here. I love the DSP and card stock strip at the top tying in with your colouring and paper piecing.
I just love your adorable card and what a sweet image! Hugs x x
Loll this is gorgeous and very creative. Love everything about it. Wishing you a fab Weekend.
