Wonderful Life

Here we are with the first week of April already gone!
My goodness it sure goes fast doesn't it?

Which also brings us to a new challenge at Fussy and Fancy
being hosted by our lovely teammate Beth
and sponsored by Magnoila-licious .

The challenge theme is 'Pink and Green'
perfect for this time of year!


I started with a 5 x 5 square card stock base
and 'built' my card from there.


The image used is Tilda With Prince Froggy.
I colored it with my Copics, adding a bit of Clear Star to the crowns
and shoe bottoms for a bit of 'sparkle'.
The dress was stamped on a little snippet of gingham and then fussy cut out
and paper pieced on. 


I 'framed' the image, then added flowers and a burlap butterfly to finish.
The sentiment is part of a paper pad which I have listed below.

Now, head on over to the Fussy and Fancy challenge blog and take a peek at
what the other FAF girls have created.....the projects are GORGEOUS!!

Pixie's Snippets Playground .... Snippets
Word Art Wednesday .... ATG
Ruby's Rainbow .... Paper Piecing

Diane, this is so adorable. I generally am not a fan of Tilda, but I do like this cute image. I like that you paper pieced her dress and the beautiful blooms. Have a good weekend.

This is adorable, Diane! I love all that pretty paper and your frame and flowers. Also the bit of pink foliage is such a nice idea. Pink and green is my favorite combo. So cute all over and looks like fun!
