Hello everyone, how are we all doing? I'm hoping to be back blogging more regularly again following recent setbacks; after the last few days of visiting blogs I can feel the old inspiration bubbling away again. This is my card today.....I never give my characters blonde hair, I almost always go for black and occasionally brown, but I wanted to try to show bright light causing darker shadows at the back of my little lady's head and I felt light-coloured hair would show this better. I used the colours Y00, Y21 and Y28 to make her blonde hair, and it's a much simpler type of hair colouring than I usually do. I'm afraid I don't know what the image is, it's a digi that was printed off by a friend of mine and posted to me so if anyone knows what it is I wouldn't mind knowing the make so I can buy one myself. Edit: Kevin has let me know that this is an Inger Harding image (thanks Kevin), and can you believe it's a freebie? You can grab this little beauty along with other gorgeous freebies here.
I used some of my favourite papers and precious Prima leaves on this, and a strip of lace ribbon and a punched border strip just finish it off. Hope you like it.

Hi Carole, What an absolutely beautiful card and coloring. Don't you just love K&Co DP? I have a question I thought you may answer about challenges in general to all. I wasn't knowledgable enough to know what a challenge was. In 2010, I created some cards that never went in a challenge. Can I move this posting to recent and put it in a challenge? Or is this considered back linking? It's never been in a challenge.
Thanks for your help,
Sheila
Oh beautiful card Carole, your DPs are so pretty and gorgeous colouring too ... lovin your blonde hair!
Beautiful!! The color combo you used is really lovely. Thanks so much for playing along with iCopic.
Hugs,

Hi Carole, back again to answer your question. The meaning of ALOHA can be many things; hello, good bye, with love, with affection, etc. It's such a great word cuz it covers so many emotions, all good!!! Luv & Hugs, J:)
