Guest DT on Julia Spiri Challenge #118--Unusual Hair!

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 Julia's Challenge!  And while you're at it, explore her Stamp store here to see so many more unique images.  You will fall in love with them!
I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:

1. Petal Lu
2. Lil Patch of Crafty Friends
3. Crafty Girlz Challenges
4. Crafting from the Heart
5. A Bit More Time to Craft

Just a Swingin' at Doodle Pantry at the end of this month!

 I just love this colored porch swing so made 2 different versions!!  This is from the June release from Doodle Pantry and appropriately called "Porch Swing" and as you can see in the display, there are many different options and variations.  I just love the creations that Laurie makes for us to use! 

As you can see I used the buttons in the corner AND also fruit punch Stickles on the pink potted flowers.  On the yellow card, it is hard to see in the picture but I used diamond glaze on the window to make it shiny, small pearls on the inset and rolled felt flowers and leaves used from one of my dies.  The insides of each one are similar, just with different background colors.

Normally, at this time, we at Doodle Pantry would be getting ready for the next months' launch!  However, we are shooting for July 3rd to showcase the next group of images from our fearless leader!  I can't wait to begin creating and also at that time, we will be starting our new monthly challenge for all of you!  You have plenty of time to get yours ready!!
