My DH saw my card for today's challenge and said, 'Wow! That's a little bright for you, isn't it?' Yes siree, it is! So, grab your sunglasses and feast your eyes on this;
I took this picture in the full on sunshine... Jeepers! Remind me not to do that again, and just get myself a photography light tent already!!! My picture turned out a tad washed out. Turned my deep blood red card stock a tad orange. *Blech!*
I used Sending Some Love by Chicken Girl Designs. In honour of this challenge, I coloured a little baja breeze bird of happiness {giggle}. The mailbox has some glossy accents on it and IRL looks like a fancy schmancy spiffy new country mailbox. Love it! I coloured my image with copic markers and that's about it. I used Happy Day designer paper from SEI which had all the colours from today's challenge and gave me a basis for choosing co-ordinating copics.
Enjoy your day!!!

It's very bright and cheerful! That SEI dp is so pretty! Beautiful colouring of the bird mailing a letter. I also like the interesting ribbon placement with the sentiment.

Absoulutely fabulous coloring! Great job, Loretta! Thanks for joining us at the Color Throwdown Challenge!
A friend of mine sent me this link the other day, as she knows I've been wanting a light tent. http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html
It looks like it will work, and it sure is cheap to create. Would be worth a shot, at least until we both break down and buy those tents!
BTW, the card may be bright, but I think it's adorable!
