We're following the leader...

     This card was made using another image from the December Kit Club release from A Day For Daisies.  I just love Tammy's vintage images.  Can't you just hear this little line of misses singing a fun little nursery rhyme.
     I used papers from Basic Grey's Picadilly collection and colored the image with Copics.
     There won't be a new regular release this week since Tammy's giving us a little holiday break, but I'll be back next Friday with something new.
     I can't believe 2012 is already here!
     If you love Tammy's images as much as I do and would like to either add more to your collection or try them out for the first time, don't forget to enter the drawing for my blog candy.  It ends on New Year's Eve and there are TWO gift certificates from A Day For Daisies up for grabs as well as some awesome kraft products from Kraft Outlet.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp--anything goes
Party Time Tuesdays--anything goes
Top Tip Tuesday--anything goes
Make It Monday--anything goes
Basic Grey--anything goes

     Happy New Year to come!

oopsi daisy...I have to put the blog candy back on my blog...i thought it was over!!! This card is fantastic! I've seen the image before (from the site) and what you have done with it Tracy is stellar! The coloring is fantastic. I LOVE your shading. The frame with the nestie ? and then the frame (double) above with the same paper within is SO neat ! It really compliments all you've done! It is SO alive. That you could take the image and envision it to become this way is nothing short of magical. It is a definate keeper. Hey, did I tell you I have *under my pictures* a folder named Tracy!!! I look at the pics and just learn... Love and a hug, your friend - Samara

Tracy,
This card is so truly awesome! I love the senti. "...Growing up is optional" That's how I feel too, I don't plan on growing up. But I cant not get older. You really put some work into this card! I love the 3 hat pens under that beautiful yellow rose! Your crochet trim is so lovely!! Love how you finished it off w/ all the half pearls, so pretty! Great choice in the BG paper, and wow great colouring on your image! Wonderful card!! I signed up to be a follower by email and that follow me button. Happy New Year!
Peace,
Kristy
