Dear Heart


I have another Sarah Kay card to share today, this image is called Fanny's Cuddle.   When I saw her on Bev's video (see previous post), I thought she was so sweet I could not wait to get her.  I colored her with copics and prismacolor pencils, distressed the edges with VersaMagic Jumbo Java and went over the entire image with Distress Ink Pumice Stone to try to achieve the vintage look.  

I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday for the layout, the papers are Basic Grey Sweet Pea.
The challenges that inspired me (thank you!):
Sketch Saturday, #158 - sketch
Basic Grey Challenges, #45 - Shabby Chic (Basic Grey DP)
Creatalicious Challenges #22 - Flourishes (Magnolia DooHickey Swirl)
Cute Card Thursday, #168 - Pins & Pearls
Bunny Zoe's Crafts, #12 - Lace
Paper Sundaes Challenge #72 - Let's Get Sentimental!
Dream Valley Challenges #8 - Stamp Something

Have a wonderful weekend and
thanks for stopping by!

Oh Shirley, your card is GORGEOUS! I love the soft colors, the light distressing, and your pretty bow with flowers and pearls. You've created a beautiful vintage look here. Your coloring is so soft and pretty...tranquil...I need to try doing something like this. I've missed so many of your beautiful projects while I stayed away from the computer but am happy to see all your wonderful creations! Hope you are enjoying your weekend albeit this rainy weather (again!). We'll be in Mililani this evening and I hope it clears up a bit!
