Color Me Happy

Here’s my card for this week’s Kraftin’ Kimmie challenge. I used the sketch along with the Lola Davinci image and some Echo Park papers for a bright and colorful card.

Lola is colored with Copic markers. I carefully cut her out, using a craft knife for some of the interior cuts, and layered her on an aqua circle using foam tape.

I paired two papers from Echo Park’s A Walk in the Park collection kit for the cardfront. I used a bold diagonal plaid piece for the larger panel and stitched around the edges for a nice, finished look. For the smaller panel, I went with a less busy dotted pattern. A strip of satin ribbon hides the seam between the two papers. I added an aqua piece at the top corner of the dotted paper, dressing it up with a button tied with some baker’s twine. The patterned papers are layered on a blue panel, then on a green card base. I set the image panel in place and added the “color me happy” sentiment from the Annie the Artist set on a sentiment flag. A trio of green buttons at the bottom of the panel completes the card.
