Classy Card Ladies July Challenge 2021 "Clouds"
Hi all .Today is our challenge post for the Classy Card Ladies. Our wonderful hostesses are Jeanette for the Pearls and our own Kelly for the Diamonds. The theme this month is Clouds. Kelly sent a very cute and fun kit which included a ton of fun toys. The image is from CC Designs called Unicorn and Rainbows along with cute matching DSP cloud frames and die cuts from Scrappy Tales and misc bling and ribbon from Kelly's stash.
I had a really hard time deciding what to use for my card as I loved all the fun items. I finally decided to use the dark blue cloud frame.I used two pieces of cardstock for the background of the image and split the dsp with two pieces of ribbon. I mounted my sweet little girl (colored with copics and colored pencils) on pop up dots and cut out the sentiment that I liked and mounted that on pop up dots as well. I then took some sequins that were included in the kit and scattered them around the sentiment. The jury is still out on how much I like this card but I had fun. Thank you Kelly for the awesome kit.
Here is my card:
The second part of the challenge was to answer the question....what's the best cloud you remember seeing?
As a kid I used to lay on the lawn and look for images in the clouds as well. I still do but not laying on the lawn. The best cloud I remember seeing was after my mom died. I was driving home from helping make arrangements and being the oldest of 6 I felt I needed to be strong for many so hadn't started my own grieving process. I was listening to a CD and my moms favorite song came on, the large cloud above me parted and sun rays came through that split. The rays were so bright and were shining right on me. I was stunned and ended up crying the rest of the way home listening to her song and processing the loss of my mom. I still miss her and will never forget the beautiful cloud and sun rays.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I do appreciate it. If you get a chance please stop by the other classy ladies blogs. I'm sure you will not be disappointed in their wonderful creations.
Until next time,
Hugs,
Carol
