I was happy to see the CR84FN Color Challenge for this past week. It is purple, blue and green and those were some of the colors that I wanted to use for Rose's card. Isn't it great when the moon's align that way? I love this Whippersnapper Image for it's versatility....I have used it in many different color combo's as well as for many different purposes and so thought that CR84FN Color Challenge's colors would make this image look fabulous. And they did! Here is the challenge color spectrum:
Gorgeous right? And here is my card-
I went a little crazy with lot's of the elements that I love....coloring, colors, layers and bling. I am happy with how this turned out. The photo is kinda skewed though and makes it look crooked I guess....in real life it isn't. I added a HA sentiment to the inside. I just love this sentiment and it is a "life view" that I am really trying to keep in the forefront of my mind lately. I interpret "beauty of the day" pretty loosely to include savoring an exceptionally good cup of coffee or sharing a giggle with one of the kids. Beauty is where we find it right? This card also has LOTS of HA bling in the form of these little "water droplets".....I have no idea what they are called but that's how I see them Very cool little embellies.
Thank you to all, both those who posted on my blog and those who sent me private emails regarding my last post. I really appreciate what you all wrote and am so glad that anyone was able to take something positive away from my posting! That will be so sustaining for me for quite some time ;-D
Be well,
Sheila

Hi, Sheila! What a beautiful card for your husband's Aunt Rose! The image is great and your coloring is exceptionally pretty. I love these colors together!
I think the little water spots are called "dewdrops". I have a ton of them and hardly use them!

Sheila, I LOVE your beautifully colored card...an amazing work of art! I agree, beauty can be found just about anywhere, as long as your eyes and heart are open to it. (Did I mention I love to read your posts? Such wise words!)
Thanks also for sharing the information re: the Honor Flights. I had never heard of this, yet we go to visit the WWII Memorial (and others) in Washington DC pretty regularly! I will have to tell my kids about this and see if we can catch the movie...intriguing!
Wonderful artistic card, Sheila, that I'm sure will be treasured by Aunt Rose! Love how you put those colors together & all the bling is perfect! I hadn't heard of that organization--how neat!
You rocked this, Sheila! This came together with such amazing style! Love how you used the colors and the design just flies off the card! Amazing details! You aunt is one lucky soul! Thanks for the history, too.
