When I saw this adorable image from the Saturated Canary called, "Secrets", I immediately had to think of my sweet friend, Suzanne Dean. If you know Suzanne.. you know she does NOT talk on the phone. Nosirree... not for her!! She's a HUGE texter though. And the funny thing... I NEVER thought of myself as anyone who was much of a texter at all... until Suzanne came along. Oy vey! (As she would say... LOL)
I use to think kids were crazy with all that texting. But... nope... one "talk" with Suzanne and you realize.. holy moly, my fingers are gonna get a workout!!! LOL But I admit... I've tested her a time or two... oh yes I have... don't tell me I "can't" do something... cause I'm sure gonna try!!! Hee Hee But true to her word... nope... she never answered her phone... not once! She's such a FB. (NO I won't tell you why I call her that!) AND... I want you to know... she HAS called me!!!! Uh huh... just last week... she called and sang!!!! Seriously!!!! Sure.. go ahead and send her a message on Facebook and ask her... she sang loud and clear!!! Even the dogs were howling! HA HA HA
But in honestly... Suzanne has become a great friend and I just HAD to do this card in resemblance of us. Hee
My card started with Virtual Pearl paper from the Paper Temptress. I wanted a bit of a shine to it and thickness as well so I found this in my stash and knew it would be perfect. Not to mention the "hues" of color that shine off it when put next to other colors. My image was printed on Cryogen White paper and colored with my Copic markers. I mounted them on some Patterned Paper from Gina K Designs, "Hello Sunshine" then mounted it onto some Pure Luxury Wild Lilac and then some Red Hot card stock. My sentiment .... "Psst" is a typical "hello" from me when I text Suzanne. Hee
Now since I decided to color these cuties in colors that Suz and I both like... and in our hair color too... hee... they were colors not often found together in many DP sets. Soooo I took another piece of card stock and covered it in many strips of Washi tape that I had. Just enough to give me the colors of our dresses. :-) Of course, I planned on Suz having the curly hair and me the short "bobbed" hair but my kids got the best of me and I put that dark brown Copic down on the wrong head... oh well. SHE knows who she is! LOL
It was fun working on these and the colors were even more fun to work with. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope the rest of your week is all easy going from here! *HUGS*
