Here's Hoping...

Hi everyone.  Where has this week gone, or should I say the first half of January? I can't believe it's Wednesday night already. Time got away from me this week, so last night I scrambled to put this card together.

With everyone's new year's resolution I thought this image would be perfect for all of us trying to loose weight. The image I choose to colour is called Hoping by Mo Manning in rubber at Stamping Bella.  I love the sentiment that went with this image - not today... maybe tomorrow. - it is so true, isn't it, at least for me anyway!

I stamped her on bella's bestest paper and then coloured her using prismacolour pencils and blended with gamsol. Skin tones were done with copics.
After cutting her out I left the die in place, and sponged some versamagic aloe vera around edges.
This was then layered onto a piece of chocolate brown cut out with a spellbinder Lacey ovals. 

My layout was based on Deconstructed sketch#83.  Designer paper is Basic Grey  Sweet Threads.

If you haven't submitted your card for this weeks inspiration challenge you still have time.  You can email Emily your entry by Thursday night.  

 
And don't forget about our challenge over at SCS. Our theme is "a picture is worth a thousand words' - so no sentiment just let the picture tell the story.
You can read all about it here.

Okay, I'm off to work on my challenge card.  See you back here on Friday.  Thanks for stopping by.
