Earlier this week I shared my happy news about being RAK-ed TGF's Sing, I finally had the opportunity to create with her:
And I loooove her! This card made me giggle because even though I used more 'formal' embellishments, putting Sing right there as a focus made so much sense. In Hawaii, it doesn't matter how uppity an occasion is...there will ALWAYS be someone in shorts and slippers (flip flops as it is known here)!
A few deets: I used the CB notes folder, random ribbon and hardware, and a Cricut flourish that was sent to me by another sweet friend.
A little warning, this next pic has strange lighting for a reason:
I wanted to make sure the ukulele had some shine on it. I was recently asked what Sakura Glaze was by my friend Mel. It is basically Crystal Effects in a pen, and can be found at All That Scraps. It's so much easier to control for smaller areas and isn't as thick, I used it on Sing's ukulele to mimic lacquer. I also added yellow stickles to the stamen part of the hibiscus, I didn't want it to get lost in Sing's beautiful hair.
The sheer joy in making this card (besides the adorable image) was because it isn't for any kind of contest - no challenge, no sketch, no color combo - nada! I forgot how free-ing that can be to just create a card in the direction that it takes you. :D
Thank you for coming by today, I wish you a wonderful weekend with plenty of unexpected joys and bursts of happiness throughout your day.
*Love and Aloha*

Beee-u-tiful! This card is so elegant despite how laid back Sing is. I love the colors you used and all the different textures and textiles.
I like that glaze stuff, I think I'll just have to place an order. I still have some money left over from the Crafter's Yard Sale. heehee
Enjoy your Friday!
