The image is a bit smudged but since it was lovingly stamped for me and it only seemed to affect the writing and make it look like a young child wrote it, I decided to go with it. I'll be honest, not my favourite colouring job. I haven't played with my Prisma pencil crayons in a while and I am definitely out of practice. On the other hand, I love how these mousey images lend themselves to simple layouts. The images do all the work. Again, I am using up DP from my Christmas 6 x 6 pad. I promised myself it would all be gone before I bought another and I mean business this year. I am trying to get it done before Christmas hits the stores so I won't be tempted. I promise, I will try to do something non-Christmasy next for those that are starting to panic. I was upset today because I hadn't really started my Christmas shopping. When I'm working full-time, I don't get time without kids to actually do any shopping so summer tends to be my go-to time.

ReplyDeleteMoi j'aime bien l'effet de l'écriture enfantine et tout le rest d'ailleurs! Le pourtour plus sérieux nous aide aussi à l'apprécier davantage!Félicitation pour le beau travail. Danielle
ReplyDeleteThis is a sweet card! The background paper is just right to accent it, and the colouring looks fine.
