I am so thrilled to be asked to be the Guest Designer for
Challenge #118 at Julia Spiri Stamps for the month of May!! The theme of this challenge is "Unusual Hair" and that's always a leap out of my comfort zone lol!


I chose to go with yellows, oranges and reds thinking along the "summertime" theme of the card. I am using the image called "Girl on a Swing" and adore it so much-especially the curly eyelashes (one of Julia's trademarks). I mounted the finished copic colored image on top of a sunny yellow gloss embossed (flowers) cardstock and then used a green summer meadow design paper for an additional mat. Felt like she was swinging up in the clouds with the cloud paper! Topped the Birthday card off with a soft flower from
Petal Lu and a "Hello" chipboard tag. The inside liner again has the embossed paper from the front mat and a stamped sentiment inside.
I hope you will start working on YOUR entry right away and enter it in
