Hi....from a Turtle

The Ad Challenge on the Cricut Board last week (yes, I'm a bit behind.....) was dk green, lime green, purple, and white.   I was intrigued by that color scheme and had to try it.  I chose the turtle from Create a Critter, paper from DCWV's Summer Blossom stack, and some leftover Thickers.  The turtle needed something else, so my favorite cartridge, Paper Doll Dress Up, to the rescue........and she got a hat!  A little embossing, some cute little flowers and gems, a bit of rick rack, and voila!

Little Miss Turtle

It's time for some spring colors, and at Practical Scrappers this week, it's time for white pens!   This is one of my favorite crafting tools...if you haven't tried it yet, you'll love it and use it for everything.

My little Miss Turtle is a digi stamp from The Stamping Boutique.   They have absolutely wonderful images at terrific prices.   Hop over!   I colored her with watercolor pencils, using several shades of each color and blending them.   I added some gems and buttons for dimension and used the white pen to highlight.  Added some flowers from Walk In My Garden, cut at 1/2" increments and layered.   I used the pen to doodle on the flowers too.  Added some ribbon and the sentiment is from Paisley.
