Pattie's Creations Challenge # 108 - Greens!

Hello again!

I'm not sure if I've already announced this or not but....... I'm one of the newest member's on Pattie's Creations Design Team!

Grab My Badge to Add to Your Sidebar

Pattie approached me about a month ago and asked me if I would like to join her very talented design team and create with a fantastic group of ladies. To which, I obviously replied YES!

So somethings you should know about Pattie's Creations! 
Pattie Gomez is a talented lady who creates some very cute images. To see for yourself go ahead and check out her Etsy Shop
She designs with a special little girl in mind called Pattieboop and her trust sidekick Allie! Pattie describes them below:

 "Pattieboop is an 11 year old girl who is very opinionated. She was created by me, Pattie Gomez on September 7, 2009. Pattieboop is an average 11 year old and she loves dressing up. She is very petite in nature but stands tall because her mother always told her that “If you stand tall you will one day become someone important”. Pattieboop always remembers her mother’s words and makes sure she is noticed. 
Pattieboop has a favorite pet named Allie. Allie is a slender black cat and loves playing and spending time with Pattieboop. Alllie spends most of her days napping and her nights are spent getting in to mischief…" - Pattie Gomez

So on to this month's challenge!

The challenge this month is: GREEN - It should be the primary color in your project

So here's what I created for this month's challenge using the image: Volkswagen Beetle 1



I thought this image would look sooo cool if the sentiment could "hide" under the hood of the beetle! SO I dug out my craft knife and made it happen. I just LOVE how this card came out. 

The following supplies were used to make this card:
Green, White, Pink Cardstock - Stash
Heavenly White 80# Cardstock - Paper Temptress
*I do all my coloring on this cardstock! It's fabulous!*\
Butterfly Punch - Martha Stewart
Craft Knife
Silver Pen
Glossy Accents (headlights)
Spectrum Noir Markers 

I think I will have to make more of these, it came out so cute!
Thanks for stopping by today.
