Happy Saturday my fellow stampers! Any big crafty plans for the weekend?
I'm kickin' it off with a card for the Farm Fresh Friday challenge over at TGF. This week it's all about paper piecing so this was nice and easy... just what I needed. It also gave me the perfect excuse to ink up Blush Babette for the first time. Just like her sister Bonnie, I decided to do a bit of altering and give her some smilie eyes a la Anya... I love how happy she looks now. :)
I paired Miss Babette up with some pretty papers by Authentique and colored her up to match. I'm not usually a fan of the color grey but lately I find myself being drawn to color combos like this, where grey is paired with a bright, happy color. It makes for a fun yet still kinda sophisticated looking card or project. I even used some of the pretty yellow gingham print to paper piece Babette's dress and gave her a grey slip to have the same stylish look as the paper. ;)
Well, I guess I should make like a bread truck and haul buns (caught that little gem while watching A League of their Own on AMC last night, LOL!)
Later!
