I had this sweet image colored and sitting on my desk since early Tuesday morning, and I had plans to finish it for the Color Challenge. But we had a medical emergency with my DH and spent most of that day in the doctor's office and the imaging center. He has a large hematoma and is now elevating his leg most of the day and is feeling a little better thankfully.
So I decided to combine this card with today's Featured Stamper, Annette Allen (Clever creations). I chose her card "Peppermint Twist" because the red stripes captured me - it's darling! Annette has a lovely gallery, and I'm so glad I was able to browse through it today. Congratulations, Annette, on being this week's Featured Stamper!
I kept my card simple and used the red stripes for my background, matted with red. I made my focal image square instead of a circle, and used some red jute under the image. This is my first card using Lili of the Valley images, and I can't wait to use some others I've ordered. (P. S. Lili of the Valley is SCS's newest Platinum Partner, and they offer free shipping worldwide!)
Thanks for taking a closer look, and I hope you like this cute little pair! Have a wonderful week!
