A fun Fall Birthday Card!!

   Today, I decided to work on a card for a few of my favorite challenges and I started over the the Color Me Creative Classroom, and the current challenge there is to create a project where you color your image with a Feathering Technique.  If you are not familiar with this technique, Suzanne Dean has posted a great little tutorial which you can find HERE!! 

   I also wanted to create my card with a few other challenges in mind and the next challenge is the new Sketch Challenge over at the 7 Kids for College - Challenge Blog and the sketch was actually provided by Suzanne as she is a member of the Design Team.  Here is a copy of the Sketch Suzanne designed for the new challenge.

  If you would like to join in, please hop on over to the blog and look for Challenge 4A Sketch.  The theme is Fall and I created my card in Fall Colors and also incorporated the feathering technique.   This is the card I created with Suzanne's wonderful sketch.


  My sweet little image is another from 'Baby Bud Designs' and this little cutie is - Violet!  I love her also colored in lavender and purple shades, however for these challenges she looks quite lovely in nice Fall Colors.  I also created this card for two additional challenges, the Midweek Throwdown Challenge over at the Stars and Stamps blog, and also this week's Card Corner Challenge at SSC. 

   I really love how the colors all worked out and think sweet little Violet makes this a fun Fall Birthday Card.  I actually created this card for my Sister in Law, Sandy - who is celebrating her birthday tomorrow!

   I hope you'll all stop by these Challenge blogs and join any or all of these fabulous challenges.  I have a a lot of fun creating this card and only wish I was a better photographer!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
