Anyway.........enough on colors! The challenge starting today at Tuesday Throwdown is themed Christmas-Famly. We're being sponsored by Stamping Boutique who also provided the DT with images. Be sure and enter the challenge for your chance to win a wonderful prize package from our sponsor.
I used the image Mail Girl, coloring her in Copics and then sponging in some blue for the sky behind her. I really, really, REALLY would love a coat like she's wearing but there's just no need in spending the money on something that warm in this part of the country. I'd probably have a heat stoke - but it really does look snuggly and I'd at least look good having the heat stroke!
Be sure and check out Tuesday Throwdown.....and thanks for stopping by!

Yes this does look fire truck red, Lynn - photographing purple gets me - it always looks blue - something to do with the length of the light waves that the red gives off, that the digital camera plays havoc with, I think.
ReplyDeleteLove your card for all that it appears red - if you never said anything, everybody would think it was supposed to look red :-).
Blessings

Love the fab image and colours,just gorgeous.xxx
ReplyDeleteAdorable card!! And I wouldn't mind the hat and coat!!
ReplyDeleteI hear on the camera issues! I think it's just that it's getting rush and crunch time so life likes to play little tricks on us like this!! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks fabulous Lynn!! I love the image, your layout design and your added sequins too!! Another Christmas for your pile! YAY! :) Hugs & Smiles - *Vicki*

LOL Lynn, I know what you mean about how colors photograph, it sure is frustrating some days!! I love the red and the sweet image.The little frame around her is really pretty and the embossed matting really adds to the snowy look! Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI love her coat and hat, too. I could use both of those. I am such a cold tater. :-) That is just the cutest image AND card, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteYour card really does not look blurry and I don't know what color of red that is supposed to be but I think it looks great. I have noticed recently when my picture leaves my software and goes to SCS, it seems to lose a bit of its sharpness. I don't know why...wish I did.
I love this card, Lynn, and the red looks perfect to me! Not blurry that I can see (unless I take off my glasses) and I adore the CAS design. Great job on the sky. :-D
ReplyDeleteI don't think your card is too bright...and it cannot be the photographer OR your eyes! Must be your computer..yes, that's it! Your card is absolutely beautiful, RED is the color of the season and you have done a great job capturing that happiness. Love your mail girl, how you embossed the white and added the pennant. Great card...enjoy your day today! ~Donna K
ReplyDeleteI love that little sweet girl!!! This is an awesome card! You can NEVER have too much RED for the holidays! This is beautiful! I have an entire story going around in my head about the content of that precious mail! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOne should always look good even while having a heat stroke. LOL Her coat is darling as is your whole card. I think the color is fine. It is not shockingly red to me, just a nice bright red. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteSo adorable, Lynn! Cute image and I love your design! I would love a coat like that - and I would wear it here in Nova Scotia! It's freezing today!
ReplyDeleteI personally LIKE all that red. :) It definitely is an eye-catching design. Great work!
ReplyDeleteAwww, this card is adorable and I am loving the red too! This image is darling and yes, I am loving her coat too, and I would have a need for a coat like that in my neck of the woods but would look like a sunburned whale in it. lol I totally love the design of this card my friend. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThe red looks great on my computer! What a sweet and cute image with that furry coat and hat! I love the snow and rich red color too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks a little blurry to me, Lynn, but that's prolly from my morning Kahlua and coffee! Just kidding, it looks sharp and the red IS brilliant, but I love it! And I agree you would look schmashing in that coat - and don't forget the magnificent furry cap, too!! Happy Holiday Hugs! Darnell

I love all the red, Lynn! And your card isn't blurred at all on my computer. Great image and as always, perfectly colored!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I'm thinking your card look wonderful and perfect red! Fabulous card and great detail and layout!
ReplyDeleteYep, it looks red to me, but I'm not sure what was s'posed to be pink. I LIKE it red! Looks very festive and cheerful - but then I love red! Surely can't be the photographer - didn't look blurry either. Love this image, and the coloring is great. It's a super card in my humble opinion. TFS
ReplyDeleteI love the color. It's a wonderful card no matter if its red or pink. Great job...Hugs, joann

My goodness, Lynn, I am always behind with your posts. Dee Dee's deer are adorable, and I love the way you colored up those stockings. As for this sweet miss, I wish she would come do up my holiday cards, so they would be done. Very cute. Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. I love the image and it is RED! I don't think there's much you can do with red.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great Lynn - the red looks right - it is just red. Totally cute card - great image and layout. Well done. Hugz
ReplyDeleteI love this cutie at the mailbox! What an adorable holiday card, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteLove your card and I love all the reds.
ReplyDeleteIt looks good to me! But I know I'm never happy with my red photography either. What a precious image!
ReplyDeletePretty card Lynn. I like the image and the embossing is a perfect background. Great sentiment and layout too.
