My Tweetheart

Before I talk about the card today, I would like to thank Barb of ...Enjoying Life... for the very generous gift to Simon Says Stamp!  She had a random drawing while promoting the Simon Says Stamp Flickr Group and Challenge.  Being fairly recently back to blogging, I didn't know it was there until I saw her post.  It's very fun and incredibly supportive over there!

Not much time in the craft room this weekend, but enough to join the shaker challenge over at Virginia's view and still play with those wonderful colors at ColourQ.  There's even a little time left at Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes!
 
I received this whimsical image and sentiment from the sweet Vera Yates of Ling's Design Studio a couple of years ago.  It's called Tweethearts by Paperworks Co.  I colored it with Copics.  I had to add a little green (outside the color scheme), but I kept it a grayish green.  I made the shaker using dies and sequins from PTI Shakers + Sprinkles.  The seed beads are from Michaels.  The PP is from Authentique's Essentials Collection, and the cardstock is older paper that I had in my collection.

Here are the challenges that inspired this card:

It's so much fun being back in blogland reconnecting with friends and making new ones!  Thanks so much for visiting my blog.  I hope you have a wonderful day!
