Smile

Another one for the Treasured Scrapbooking Crop!!!


The challenge was in honor of Betsy Ross and we could ONLY use red/white/blue - no other colors. I dug through all my papers and the best I could do for a LO was red/blue/cream.........uuuggghhhhh, not gonna work. So, I saw others did cards and altered items so I took a cue from Kim, who is also on the DT at Am I A Scrap Addict - Sketches with how she DIDN'T color in all of the Bella stamp she used. I really loved this when I first saw it and made a mental note that at some point in time I should do this but tonite while trying to figure out this challenge it came to me!!!


So, I stamped my Bella girl in Blazing Red StazOn ink, colored her top/bags with my Garnet Copic, used Frosted Lace Stickles on her "smile" and pants (hard to see in the picture) and then layered her on navy cardstock, onto red/white dotted Scenic Route patterned paper and then onto a navy blue card base and applied a white felt "smile" to the card along with 3 navy blue flowers I made and topped off with pearl bling!!!

Hope you like it!!!

Just to cover all bases...................

I am not the best scrapper out there. I don't claim to be totally original, I lift from many places and in many forms from color combinations, to product usage, to technique and so forth. I try to be fair to all scrappers out there and mention them when I lift from them - now keep in mind, there are so many people out there scrapping, card making and altering items that naturally more than one person will have similar ideas. When I mention lifting, or casing as some call it, I mean when you intentionally take a design you see and duplicate it exactly or only change up the coloring........KWIM???
