Merbaby, For You...

Hi all and a very Happy Friday to you! 8-)  What a crazy week it's been I tell ya, haven't had a second to post a single thing.. lol  Ever have a week like that, that you are so busy, but don't have a single thing you can post to show for it.??  Well, that's exactly how my week has been..lol.. But I assure you, you will be seeing the fruits of my labors down the road a piece..8-)

Well for today's post, I decided to play along with the Fabulous Ladies at CR84FN and their latest Color Challenge #32. What Fabulous Summery colors they gave us to play with this time!


I printed out my Darling Merbaby and Seashell from A Day for Daisies onto Flourishes Classic White and colored them up with my trusty Copics.  I did a little paper piecing for her Sweet little tail using some Fabulous Dream of Shabby digi DP by Dianne Rigdon featured at Two Peas in a Bucket and added some shading with my Copics and then a bit of bling with Stardust Stickles. I cut this little sweetie out and popped her up with some dimensionals onto my Seashell which I matted up using my Labels 18 Nesties set with Aqua CS from my stash and then popped that up with dimensional as well.  My I/O Sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black directly onto my BG which was created using a couple of different dp's from the same Dream of Shabby digi Collection. To finish it all up, I just added a bit of vine ribbon around my Seashell, a few sweet pearls, some Fabulous sheer blue green ribbon, a perfect little shell button all tied up with a bit of aqua bakers twine from MAD Stamper finds.

Hope you all have a Fabulous weekend & thanks so much for dropping in! 8-)
