Challenge #273 at Little Red Wagon

Well, today's challenge over at Little Red Wagon is hosted by Jan ... Her theme this week is "Shhhhhhh!" ... Don't use any words or text on the project you create.

That's not hard for me .. I usually like to leave my cards without a sentiment until I decide who and what they're for.  This week, I chose one of Saturated Canary's new images from the Valentine's Bundle (that's 5 digital images for only $10 ... pretty good price if you ask me).  This image is called "Groovy Love" ... note the glasses.  Based on the title of the image, I wanted to go a little bright and funky with the colors, so I chose bright pinks and purples ...

 

If you'll also notice, I chose black hair again ... I'm struggling to get it just right, so I may have to head back to the classroom at Kit and Clowder, but this is a heck of a lot better than what you won't see.  I was a bit miffed at first, so I added some white highlights with my Gelli Roll ... ARGH ... huge mistake ...

Thought about it all night, and yes, even dreamed about it,

only the highlights were bright pink.

Well, this morning I came downstairs and tried - never have before -

a Wet One and it swooped the gel pen right away - HURRAY!!!!

After that, I tweaked the hair a bit more, and was much more pleased with the results that you actually see here. 

 

To dress up the card, I used some digital papers and Stampin Up cardstock in eggplant and Pretty in Pink (I think).  I added a sponged paper doily and used a new die I got from Elizabeth Craft Designs for the flower layers.  Finished off with some pearls and called it a day ...

 

Here's a close up of the image ...

Hope you have a chance to head over to The Little Red Wagon for this week's Shhhhhhh Challenge ... Would love to see what you come up with.

 

Have a wonderful day!
