CC99 - Taken With Teal and Night of Navy

I tried so hard to take a photo of this one and this is close, but I still don't have it quite right. I might try a scan in a few minutes. Anyway, surprise surprise, it is another Bella. This is the third one I ordered, so you can rest assured I will start using some other stamps again soon because I need to order more still. Anyway, I was totally stuck on the color challenge, so I just started to color giftabella in using the color challenge colors and this is what evolved. I dotted her pants and then I thought that the card background could mimic that and not be using any extra colors, so I went with it. The stitching around the circles kind of just happened because I wanted some variety. I found the navy ribbon in my drawer of ribbon (thanks again for the share Jody), and it matched perfectly. Her hair looks light in some spots because I used the glaze pen on it and it looks cool IRL, but on here, the light was reflecting when I took the picture, so hence the lightness. What a fun color challenge!!!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing
