Flying By to Say Hi


How about a fun and vibrant color challenge today from There She Goes!  I love how fresh this color combination is.  Here's my take on it using a deeper teal color...


I stamped this little cutie from Flying By to Say Hi and let her look like she's soaring in the sky.  Coloring is with Copic markers, and I've stamped the smaller balloons from the set in the background layer and colored them up too.   The red balloon she's holding is popped up and added a little shaded cloud too. 


I matched the little ruffles on her dress with a little scallop punch action on the main panel and the sentiment.   Can you see I added a tiny bit of teal into her hair too?  

Alrighty...hope you can join us in the challenge...
