Sit a spell

Hallo,
I have a card for you today for the current challenge over at Impression Obsession's blog - which is for Hello/Hi there.....
Check out the challenge here - http://www.mitrafriant.typepad.com/
The stamp I used is from Impression Obsession and is called - Rocking Chair and is #H1857
Well to me this porch just seems to say 'Sit a spell' which in the south is just another way to say Hello, or Howdy neighbor - come sit a spell :)
When I sit down to color images I am about 50/50 whether I have a paper chosen and color it to match or not, and this time I did not have a DP in
mind when I colored this up.
When I don't color to match a specific paper then I usually spend some time going through my paper stash trying to decide which to use.
Today I thought I would show you the 2 pieces of DP I ended up with and had to decide which to use.
This first paper had the turquoise blue and some gray and looked good ....
Then I found the second one - and It had alot of oranges and some pink in it - well not only did that paper seem to pop a bit more, it also had some pinks and oranges from the picture in it too.
I chose the orange one today but am probably going to color another almost just like it so I can use the other paper too - I may make one of the flowers and the curtains yellow to match the first paper better when I color it next - may add more yellow to the kitty too....
It is still amazing to me how a different DP can change the whole look and mood of an image!!!



Well in my final product I added several ribbons and trim and then added some turquoise pearl drops from a viva decor pen.

All for today - Take Care
