a little too out there for some! LOL This Junebug paper from Basic Grey, really gets me going...inside the 6 x 6 pad is a whole odd range of color and pattern and I think it is my personal goal to see if I can make it work for me and my taste. Take a look at what paired up with Tatiana KETTO...from Stamping Bella and tell me if it works for you.
Try like I did, I could not get a second pattern from the Junebug pad to look good, so I did choose a coral/pink cardstock to ease the explosion of pattern on Tatiana and the paper behind her. I wanted to bring out the coral I picked for her pants. Then she has all that fringe on her pant leg bottoms...I had to use my ball fringe 'ribbon'! I I don't think for a 'generic' card that this sentiment could get any better, just a cute girly card to send to a girlfriend. The brown balled fringe is so much fun and adds a lot of texture.
But, I did manage to get some texture in on her hair...I guess you'd call it glitter. I have some coppery brown glitter that worked great and I sprinkled it on in the darkest areas. Then, I added my usual black glaze pen and regular clear glitter.
We have had a huge change in the weather this weekend and this is in NO way a complaint for yours truely...I love cool weather! But I feel like I need to go get some hot cider and donuts today! hehe No, maybe the family would prefer regular groceries to the bare fridge... :( I don't {heart} grocery shopping anymore
I LOVE it and I think the explosion of pattern is Perfect!

I DID NOT buy the June bug paper because I was not up to the challenge! But, as usual, you made it WORK! LOVE the glittered hair!

This is awesome, Paula! I didn't get June Bug...it just didn't call my name this time. But I love what you did with it!

I LOVE the choice of the coral pink cs with the patterned paper you have. It pops and I love that!
Super cute card!
