Girl with glasses digi on inspiration card two for PPCC blog no 428 challenge

Girl with glasses digital image is from Maria Medel Illustrations, the prize sponsor for Penny's Challenge #428. The DT were given 3 images to showcase this week. I chose this one because I wear glasses. 

I thought I could color it to mirror me or someone I know who wears glasses. This time I went with a light brunette that has some sunshine highlights of blonde and ginger within her strands who has hazel green eyes. I gave her a pretty in pinks setting with lovely peonies and some sparkle-y bling!

Photo above: the pink with white dot paper was pulled from this mini kit made for March 2019 CKC blog;

Shout-out to 100 Pattern Papers Challenge group in Facebook that encourages me to use my old supplies that I tend to hoard:

the peonies paper was featured on a different card made last week which comes from my stash; also peony vase sticker, damask paper, striped paper, and kraft cardstock. (some are from The Paper Studio);

faux stitching borders given to the 2 pink patterned papers; focal image, hello stamped image, and damask paper circle were outlined in black in order to coordinate with the blacks seen in the center of the card front and also help the pink papers not get too overly sweet.

PPCC blog's badge and the challenge #380 post link=  http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.com/2018/05/welcome-to-pennys-challenge-380.html

PCDI is the prize sponsor and digital image provider for me and half the crew. MMI is the other prize sponsor. To see all the provided images from both sponsors use the PPCC blog link. ( The link will state details on how to participate for a chance at either prize and can view the inspiration creations from the Design Team.)

Overview

Getting started

PCDI's PB Allie Safari image is colored mostly with markers and a few colored pencils were used  for faces.

Supply & Vendor Notes:
Designer papers are from a scrapbook size 12" square collection that is several years old. Brown and butterscotch cardstock under the image are from Colorbok. The bright yellow cardstock base is from Astrobrights by Neenah Papers, Inc. Foam palm tree, giraffe, and monkey were purchased many years ago from Oriental Trading. Glad I could use them for this card!

I'm excited with how fun and festive this card is! 

Until next time, Becca
