Kleenex Inspired




I created this for todays IC177, over at SCS. Todays inspirations was Kleenex boxes, they really have some pretty boxes, don't they? I chose this mutli colored blue one, using pacific point, bashful blue, and a tiny hint of green. I used two different Verve sets for this one. My card seems a bit busy, but so does the tissue box. I think they are both pretty. I also tried to use shading with my copics on the center flower, I do not have alot of the "B" colors, so it is barely noticeable, I am working on it though. I hope you have time today to get outside and enjoy the weather, it is suppose to be almost 90 degrees here in VA. Sounds like a motorcycle ride, dh and I are planning a few hours of riding. We will get something to eat and grab ice cream at one of favorite ice cream trailers. I luv the Strawberry Shortcake, what about you? Enjoy your day.

  8. Teresa - again, you have done an amazing job !!! This is just beautiful and I don't see where it is busy at all. It's perfect. I hope you were able to go for a motorcycle ride - we are off in a bit to go out on the lake for a boat ride. Hopefully Jim and I will be able to go out for a motorcycle ride tomorrow after church. I hope you enjoy your strawberry shortcake ice cream - it sounds great.
