Fair warning to those of you who've gotten used to my doing CAS lately -- this one is NOT clean and simple! Although I'm becoming very fond of my CAS designs, I reverted to something more in line with frilly, fancy, and over-the-top. :-D
I used this image which came from the Rick St. Dennis Progressive Challenge.
I used this image which came from the Rick St. Dennis Progressive Challenge.
I chose to use the colors from Color My Heart
although I admit that my "juniper" feather looks more emerald green
but IRL it is that blue-green of a juniper bush.
I used ProMarkers to color my image, then die cut it and the mat with dies from Spellbinders. I used one of my favorite embossing folders (SU) to emboss the pink CS. I added Flower Soft to her arm and neck leis, and glitter to the stamen of the flowers in her hair. I used lace ribbon to make the wrapped bow and found three perfect feathers in my stash. The rose embellies are from Recollections.

Is it OK if I tell you that I'm very pleased with this card? It's been a while since I did that much embellishing and it felt good to just let things go with no worries about having to be minimalist this time around. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Your little Hawaiian gal is WONDERFUL! Love your shading in her hair, and the very tropical colors in her flowers and dress - a great card all around, Miss Connie! I am in the process of using the same SB dies in a card on my table. Don't you love the shape? I wish there were some decorative images to go with them. Pretty PRETTY card, Miss Connie! xo
