PIP Challenge 2222

Polkadoodles is this week's sponsor!! YAY!

We REALLY appreciate them!
AND since it's a 5th Monday of the month
there is a theme and it's a color theme...
Here's my card...
I had a lot of fun with the color theme. First
I went on line and found a colorful image 
that I saved. Then I added the PNG image
on top. I colored the little gnome with 
Copics in coordinating colors. I put some
white dots on the package ribbon and
white dashes to the balloons before I added
some clear lacquer. A touch of sparkle to
perk up the tiny red heart. 
I used a pretty die cut from Crafter's 
Companions and wove some matching
ribbon. I added a fabric flower. Using
a banner die cut with the added sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

I found a chicken wire image on the internet
and layered it onto some digital paper to make
my background. The cute little hen was 
colored with Copic and fussy cut. I added it
to the card with mounting tape for the dimension
needed to complete the card. Be sure to
