So happy you're back again today! Today is Release Rewind... everything's been available in the shop since yesterday and today we're featuring the new sets with some old sets... I have something fun for you today!
When I saw this pup it reminded me of mine... and how he's always trying to jump up and say hello and I had this idea... so I was about to use the scallop die from the Sweet Borders set when I came across the Mason Jar stamp and thought that ruffle on the jar lid would make really cute ruffles on a skirt! So I colored and cut out a few. I attached them to the page and drew my lines for legs and a waste... I didn't attach the skirt permanently 'til I was done which was a good thing because it took me a try or two to get legs that looked like legs.. and once I had what I wanted, I made her shirt stripey and her leggings polka dotty and colored them in. THEN I attached the ruffles permanently.
This time I made my little guy a bit spotty. I'm just having so much fun with my watercolor pencils!
So... full disclosure... I had this card all done and photographed with the three pink ruffles... and as I was looking at it later her skirt just seemed too short...lol.. and I thought... I wouldn't let my daughter go out with a skirt that short (if I had a daughter)... but I added a fourth ruffle and it was just too bulky looking... then there was that little piece of lacy ribbon sitting in my workspace and I slid it in underneath and it was exactly what the doctor ordered... I curved the end in a bit to it would look like it went around her and I just felt much better about her pretty skirt!
Hope you enjoyed stopping today! Be sure to check out what everyone else has made for you!
