I'm pulling for you - C4C#41

Happy Saturday! It's gonna' be a hot one today in Southside Virginia--and me without air conditioning. Due to shoddy installation the compressor went out on our less-than-four-year-old heat pump and it'll be Monday at the earliest before it can be replaced. Might have to go shopping this weekend, LOL! OK, whine over ;-)

Today I have a Crazy 4 Challenges card for you. Mercy is our host this week and she has a gorgeous color combo for us:
Yummy, right!? I chose to use a just-released My Favorite Things' set--Pure Innocence Pulling For You (temporarily out of stock). Just LOOK at her!! And that little wagon! It's so sweet it makes my teeth hurt!


I stamped the image on a Perfect Paper Panel (also temporarily out of stock) with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored her with Copic markers--except her little dress, which is paper pieced. I'm using Mercy's sketch for this week for my layout and it's a supah sketch! Patterned paper is from Basic Grey's Kioshi 6 x 6 pad and card stock is Hot Fudge (this is a dark, dark brown and I love it!). I'm also using MFT's new Fresh Cut Grass Die-namics die and this olive-y green felt for the grass. Sweeeeeet! And the button is from the Chocolate Kiss collection. I just love how this card turned out!

Here's the inside. The hearts in the wagon are from the Basket Full 'o Flopsey set--I thought they went along well with the "wagon full of love" thing ;-)



Sooooo, NOW, be sure to check out the samples by the rest of my crazy girls...er, I mean the Crazy 4 Challenges team ;-) Our sponsor this week is Stamp N Plus Scrap N. Get all the deets at the C4C blog.
THEN, you know what to do--we'd love to have you come along and play with us. Just do your thing with the challenge and link it to Mr. Linky on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Please link directly to your project. And, if you upload to a public gallery, please use the key word C4C41.

Thanks so much for dropping in today! Can't wait to see what you do with these colors!
