What a fantastic, beautiful day we had today...here. I actually did some heavy tree pruning, harsh trimming, rose butchering, then gave that up ..came inside and made cards....much better fun.
This card was requested by a young girl ..who had a friend.. who just had a baby girl. That seems simple enough...wanted a hand made card from me as she loves my work [deep blush..with a smile] so I got to work and found this image.. freebie on the net...shrunk it down to fit....coloured her...layered the card...fluffed around....and then looked at it..knowing that this was not going to be the right card..
{ for those who do not know what a Maori is...they are our brown skinned people in NZ }
I tried to colour her darker but she just looked like a dirty baby..lol..so I kept her, and have made 2 other cards...I will show you tomorrow...too dark now to photograph.
I've decided to show her this one anyway, as you never know, she may not care, your even think about colour, but at least I can give her the option .
Ohhhh!!! What a hoot..My hot chocolate with 3 marshmellows is ready now, have to have 3...not the same with just 2...Have a great day...catch up tomorrow...
Luv CHRISSYxx
