Today's my daughter's birthday and I hope she's going to be far too busy to visit my blog (which she doesn't do that often anyway) because I'm posting her Halloween card. Yes, she's an adult, and yes, she has kids in college, and yes, I send her (and everyone else in my family; kids, grandkids, great-grands) Halloween cards just because it's so much fun!
But this one will have special meaning to her and that means I need to tell you a little bit about the business she runs. She's a Color Street stylist and if you've never heard of Color Street, check out her FB site, Michele's Magnificent Manis. Color Street is dry nail polish strips which go on in a jiffy and are dry to the touch as soon as they are applied. Since she started her business about 4 years ago, I've been using Color Street on my own nails and I have to say I love the product. Everybody asks if it's stickers or stick-on nails, but it's not. It's real nail polish but it comes in strips, not in a bottle and there's no waiting for it to dry once applied.
So, when I saw this fabulous digital coloring page over on the Bogema Books site, I had to buy the entire coloring book just to get this image. What could be more perfect? Tatiana Bogema is the artist and I do love her pages. I also bought one of her Christmas books while I was there.
I sized the image for an A2 card, then printed it and used water color paints for coloring it. I cut it with my largest Tonic Studios rectangle die and matted it with both black and orange CS scraps, trimmed to fit. The sentiment came from a sign my daughter has in her vendor booth when she does sales events. It seemed perfect for this image! Isn't this a scream?
