It’s happening! Yes, happening for sure!! Today is the last day my kiddos go to school full day – yikes! Tomorrow they have a half day then the rest of the summer free! I’m both excited and anxious. 😀 I’m looking forward to all the fun things we get to do this summer but at the same time, that means the kids will be home all day. LOL If I can figure out how we can all have a turn at the computer then I think we’ll be set. ;D
Here’s a project I wanted to share using Daisy Kate Hatter from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I’ve gone with a shabby chic vintage feel fort his one and it reminds me of a perfect attic to explore!
Here’s a closeup of the hat as I like how the texture came out. I started with a darker color and colored in hash patterns around the edges where it would be the darkest. Then I ignored them and colored the hat like I normally would, starting with the dark colors and blending my way to the lighter colors. Because the paper I was using grabs a hold of the darker colors, it allowed the texture to stay there just slightly enough to create an awesome effect. I wasn’t sure if it would work but it was worth a try. 😀
What a great card. I love the image.

Very cute card with lots of fun elements and texturews! I really think your colorized girl is beautifully done and coordinates so well with your other embellishments. Love the cheesecloth behind her! Love the zipper stretched across your card. Love the little bubbles, too. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. ❤ Candy

Lovely card Barbara. I really struggle with shabby chic but admire those that can pull it off. Love the effect of the cheesecloth. As regards your comment re computer. Mine has \”parental controls\” on it that allow you to set the amount of time each user can go on there. I blocked each child off certain times so that they couldn't hog it all day. At a specific time (after a warning) the computer logs them off. Worked a treat!
