Happy Friday!! Who has that Friday feeling?
I dooo! A whole weekend with the boyfriend and a trip to Ikea is on the cards, and that's just for starters! :) I hope you have exciting things planned!!
Today I thought I'd stop by to share a recent commission with you guys. This was for a lovely lady who I keep in touch with via my FB page. Not only is she a lovely customer, I can also say she is a lovely online friend, too! :)
Her request included cupcakes, purple, turquoise and pink.. and mummy.
Off to work I went.
I already knew I wanted to use Some Odd Girl products, it was just picking out which that was the hardest. In the end I went with:
- Gingerbread Kaylee (for the character)
- Baker Mae and Sweet Thinkin' Mae (for the sentiment)
- Cupcake Mae (for the giant cupcake)
- Kaylee's Closet Wardrobe (for the tiny bow in her hair)
I coloured up Kaylee and the giant cupcake with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers, but you already knew that, to match papers from an Echo Park collection called Here and Now. I LOVE those papers - so bold and bright. I matted my patterned paper onto some deep purple cardstock, I then went around the very edge with some Purple Stickles and added little dots at even intervals (gutted it hasn't showed up very well in the photos, but it's definitely something I'll be trying again!)
Here is a close up of Kaylee and her miniature bow!! This time round I tried to add a little definition to her legs in the form of.. calf lines? Goodness knows what you'd call them, but it breaks up her leg a little and I kinda like it! :)
Enough waffle, I'd like to enter this card into these challenges:
- Some Odd Girl - Tag You're It!
- Fan-Tastic Tuesday - Pink and Patterned
- Inky Chicks - Anything Goes
That's all from me for today! Thank you so much for stopping by, and take it easy.
Have a lovely weekend, whatever you're up to. xo
