Like a rainbow...

Hola!

Guess who has the day off today? Me! And guess who has most of her to-do list already done? That would also be me. Yeah! So I'm hoping to get a coloring video done... keep my fingers crossed, LOL! :)

I made my card for this week's open Flutter By challenge and I couldn't resist inking up little Shimmer Bean for it. I recently picked up this cool cloud print paper that made for a fun sky backdrop and then I just pulled random scraps out of one of my scrap bags. I went against my usual instincts to line everything up perfectly and instead just stapled the paper strips all together and left them kind of wonky. The bright colors in the striped paper gave me the rest of my direction for finishing the whole thing off, what with the rainbow reference in the sentiment and even coloring up Shimmer to look like a bright ray of sunshine after the storm. It all turned out a little quirky and crazy, and other than wanting to straighten those paper strips, I'm happy with it. ;)

Alrighty, time for me to see about that video. Have a good one my friends!
