Today we were to make a tent topper kind of card. Plus we have a new Queen for the Day. Well let me tell you, I cheated on both challenges. That's right, I said it. I cheated......details....
My cheat for the tent topper was that I actually cut a shape out of the back of my card so that it pops up and can be folded down to fit in an envelope instead of actually just gluing your topper on, at least it is suppose to work that way. hehe
My cheat for the QFTD challenge was that my card doesn't look like Holly's one bit. She uses such darling images, so I figured I'd use a darling image too. Hers is holding a popsicle mine a frog and umbrella.
I tried to find a card I could case but have you seen Holly's gallery? It is stunning. Her colors are so vivid and cards so cute. I just had to cheat!
I drew the little scene to go with my darling image. Coloring was done with copics, and Faber Castel colored pencils.
Dawn thanks for the fun challenge. Holly have a great reign as QFTD. I must run before the challenge police come a knockin on my door! hehe.....TFL :0)

What a cute idea. At first I thought it was a hot air balloon til I saw it up close. They say Birds of a feather flock together and I do like a cheat, but today we are just creative, not cheaters
