Strawberry Fields Forever

For today's card I thought I would give your eyes a rest from the bold colors of the last two sneaky peeks. This is Gigi, the third sprout being released on January 1st and designed by the fabulous Amy Young. The Farm has all kinds of fabulously fun activities going on right including the 12 days of Christmas challenges, the previews, and a day full of excitement on January 1st. Please read all the deets on my Monday post.

So again, I used my copics to color in Gigi. I made her a red head. and I used one of my favorite color combos...pink and green...okay and a touch of brown. The designer paper is from Basic Grey and the sentiment is yet another stamp from the Talk Loud set also being released on the 1st. I used some of those primas from my BIG can (pictured below) and some little half pearls. I used the 12 days of Christmas sketch #4. I have one sprout left to show you tomorrow. Thank you for visiting today and now go see the other DT girls and what they have created.

See? I told you it was a big can. You would not believe how many flowers are squished into that can. It is like a gag can filled with fake snakes. Open that lid and they just explode out. Ka-bloom! (Amy corrected me...LOL).
