Bloggers Challenge #33 (My first EVER)

I joined a new yahoo group which issues a challenge to bloggers every Friday. I am really excited to be a part of this group because of all the super talented people in it. It should be fun! Everyone has been so welcoming to me this week on the group and I appreciate it! This week for my first challenge, it was a color challenge: old olive, taken with teal, pumpkin pie, and rose red. Those were for sure not typical colors for me to use at all -- so bright! (Sorry my photo is not perfect on the colors -- it is late at night and the unnatural light is harder to get the colors right with.) I decided to make an attempt at last weeks sketch challenge (SC161), although in the end, I deviated a little from the actual sketch to make it work for me. I used some of my pre-stamped Bella images that I had gotten in a swap -- this time, huggybellas. Sentiment is by River City Rubber Works. Image was colored with prismacolor pencils and crayola colored pencils and blended with gamsol and stumps. Image and sentiment are both popped up using foam tape.

I will probably be MIA tomorrow. It is my birthday and I will be playing and enjoying my family! I cannot believe I am getting so old -- really freaks me out because I certainly still feel young. LOL! Anyway . . .
