Hello friends! How is everyone? It was over 104 degrees here in Southern CA yesterday and around that same temperature today. I am ready for the fall weather or at least cooler weather. LOL!
I am getting more crafting done right now; since I can't sleep. I really would like to sleep; but decided just to get up and craft if I can't sleep. I am having to retrain my body to sleep. You would think when a body got tired; you could sleep; but it isn't true. LOL!
I created this card using Ching-Chou Kuik "Poppy In Blue PC"; which means that it is partially colored. The flowers and the skin were already colored; which made this image easier to finish. I didn't know that this shade of blue is hard to photograph; just like the problems I have with purple.
The blues are darker on this card and the hair is more blonde; but I did the best I could in taking these photos. I am entering this card in the Ching-Chou Kuik Facebook challenge for Autumn. I live in Southern CA and our Autumn is different than other places. I believe the colors are deeper and richer for Autumn; so that is what I chose to work with for this challenge. I hope you enjoy this gorgeous partially colored image that I finished into a card.
