My whole inspiration for this card was the idea of pink lemonade and Club Anya's Spring Couture Challenge. I really wanted to use pinks and yellows. What I thought was a good idea turned out to be a color combo that was way out of my comfort zone. While I love brights, this combination of them was a struggle for me. So I guess you could say what I thought was a sweet idea turned a little sour. After fiddling with paper, layouts, and colors I ended up pretty happy with the way this turned out. I used copics for coloring, K&Company DP, and SU cardstock. The stamps are from three different TGF sets Miss Anyas, Down by the pond(I used the fins of the fish for her skirt), and the sentiment from Pretty Hat. There is a hit of sparkle on the skirt, headband, stockings, and sleeves that I used clear spica on.
