Christmas Card Using Conie Fong "Christmas Leilani" with CTMH Products

Hello Friends!   I hope everyone is still enjoying their summer or whatever season you are in at this time.  I will be happy when fall arrives; not that I am wishing Summer away.  I just don't do well in the hot weather and I love being outside.

I created a card with this gorgeous new Conie Fong "Christmas Leilani" and had so much fun coloring her.  I love coloring long hair and I know I should try to get better at coloring something besides blondes; but I love blonde hair.  I find it easier for me to color than the other colors and it looks better to me than my other colors I have tried.  LOL!  I had one black hair turn out good; but not since then.  

I kept this card Clean and simple.  I didn't want to cover the pretty paper and distract from the image.  I thought it was perfect the way it was.  Of course, it looks much better in person.  I had a lot of trouble with the lavender colors showing blue in some of the photo; but not much I can do about that.  She really does have lavender lipstick, no blue.  LOL!

All Occasion card Using Conie Fong Emma and Ellie with CTMH Every Little Thing and Mix In Paper

Hello Friends!  I hope you are having time to create.  I know that FL residents are stressed right now; which includes my daughter and her two children.  I am praying that the current/and all hurricanes go back out to sea where they can't hurt anyone or anything.  I lived there 8 yrs. and it is so hard to know what to do when a hurricane is coming; because of all the variations that can and do happen.  We evacuated with Hurricane Aaron; which was a Category 5 and drove all the way to MO to get away from it.  

I am still feeling out of sorts since our overseas vacation.  I know it will take some time to adjust to the time difference and all the food changes, etc.  I have taken the time to color/create; just because it helps me to feel better; even when my body is totally stressed out.

CTMH now has Custom12 and Custom24 packs of cardstock; where you choose any colors you want in increments of 2 and you decide which ones are your favorites.  I received my first Custom24 and love it!  

I colored this adorable Conie Fong "Emma & Ellie with wings".  I didn't realize that I had never used this image.  Time just gets away from me and I forget what I have used versus what I haven't.  I love this sweet image.  I had to use one of our new CTMH papers called "Every Little Thing" and also inside the card, I used CTMH Mix In paper; which is awesome, as well.  

My colors did not photograph very well; so I did the best I could with them; but I am disappointed that you can't see how great they look in person.  The cardstock colors are CTMH Wisteria and Mint.  The lavender wants to look blue; but it is lavender.  Everything matches so well.  The butterflies are also much softer colors, and they match perfectly.  After an hour trying to get the colors correct; I give up.
