Today is the 6th round of the challenge between Dueling Darling Divas and Dazzlers. I have the great pleasure of planning the theme for this month's duel with Paola from the Dazzler's team. We thought since this month was the birth of a new year the theme should be Fun and Laughter, Forever After. The challenge was to create a humorous birthday card. With that thought in mind I sent the Diva team a kit with this fun and funny Edna Kicking Up Her Heals image along with some bright, colorful papers, ribbons, buttons, paper flowers, brads and rhinestone adesives.
We also asked our team to share with us a New Year's resolution they've made but never fulfilled but wished they had. For me a favorite resolution that never has been completed is to get more organized! I sure wish I had been more organized in getting this kit prepared and to my sister Divas sooner!!
For my card I chose to use a Tent card format with Edna swinging it the opening, clutching the string dangling from the balloon brad. The main colors of teal, orange and yellow are taken from the polka dotted d.p. and reflected in the ribbon, brads, flowers and buttons. I colored Edna with Copic markers in these colors also.
