Congratulations Card Using CTMH Balloon Ride Paper and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge (Sneak Preview of CTMH New Items)

Hello fellow crafters/followers.  I have been having a great time creating right now.  I guess my Creating Mojo is back.  LOL!  I realized while coloring this image; that sometimes when you try to learn how to do something the correct way; it actually makes you worse for a while before you get it right.  I am trying to learn to color hair; and I know the hair on this image isn't as good as my previous ones.  I will just keep practicing and someday I will get it right.  LOL!  So; please bare with me until I learn to do it correctly.

I created this card for one of my granddaughter's; who is graduating from high school in May.  I used the fabulous Lacy Sunshine Jewel Junebug Buggmee Digi image; for their Bingo Challenge.  Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog has a challenge every two weeks; and if you use one of their images; you get the next one free.  So buy the first one and you will get a free one when you enter every two weeks. You have to follow the instructions to get your free one after each challenge.  I own most of theirs; but I love them so much I had to purchase a lot of them.  The colors in the picture on the inside are not true colors; but the front picture is true to colors.

  26. Thank you so much for becoming my latest follower Gloria, I have returned the compliment and have become your latest follower! This card for your granddaughter is absolutely lovely, I am still learning how to colour hair and find it really difficult - some turn out OK whilst others are YUK so I understand how you feel.

    Big hugs to you Sue Pxxx

  27. Such a fun card...Love the DP's you use and that cute image. So delighted you shared your artwork with us at Word Art Wednesday. Want to leave you with a verse coming from 1 John 5:4 which says, "For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith." Have a blessed week!
