Did I give your eyes a shock with these colors? LOL Everyone is so ready for spring to come I thought I'd give it a bit of a head start. It's time for Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella so we're revealing cards from the DT and those that played along. It was a sketch challenge and I've used "Lolly and Her Brolly" from the Uptown Girls line.
I knew I wanted to give her rather bright rain gear so I dug around in my paper stash mountain and came up with some papers from My Mind's Eye. No surprise there huh. LOL MME is my all time favorite line.
The top panel and Lolly are popped up on foam. I did some clouds for the background with a hand cut mask and some Distress ink.
Here's Lolly's glamour shot.
