Sweet Sixteen

Well, its done and posted....LOL....a first in my book as I've never started, finished and posted a card all in the same day!

I had a kit of papers by Katie Pertiet and just copy and pasted the preview page into my Silhouette program...this brings it right onto my page that I'm working on.  I knew I wanted to use some embossing folders, so didn't really want to do pattern fills...just wanted the colors out of Katie's kit.  I made me a color sampler and then used a card sketch from My Favorite Things.  I also bought the card sketch into the program the same way...copy/paste and then I used it as a template to make my shapes. This is the sketch I kind of used...changed it up just a bit.

And this is the kit I borrowed colors from:

and this is the card I came up with...she is a girly girl and pink really suits her. I remember taking a photo of her when she was about 2 that I was going to scrapbook a page of Pretty in Pink but never got it done. I'm off to the grocery store!

Have a Wonderful day!!

I guess the barns will have to wait...LOL....I was doing a tutorial about smoothing skin and picked this image to work on. I'm not sure I did it right but it did smooth the skin out. I don't like it super smooth so I lower the opacity quite a bit.

All stuff by Nitwit Collections except for the circle stitch and that is by Lisa Whitney of Scrap Artist and the word art is by Amanda Taylor of Oscrapes.
