This is for the CCEE challenge. We were to pick a Grimm Fairy Tale and make a card. I fashioned mine from Queen Bee. Why you ask...because my girl here looks like a Queen Bee!!
I colored her and the towel with Copics then added in the pink shadow, sand and sky with Prismas. I should have used a much softer pink for the shadow but oh well. Live and learn.
My paper is Marina Mist with the Pretty in Pink stripes inked with the same color ink. I stamped my sentiment in Basic Black and went over the word "don't" with a BB marker. Made a bow from Marina Mist tafeta ribbon and striped twine to hold the charm. Pretty simple card.
Hope you like it.

I am not at all fascinated by your card! If you wanted to use my image, the least you could have done is ask me. Besides, that's not my best side. I love your sponging and how you colored in the bg. I would have no idea in the world how to do that. Next time, just ask okay? Happy New Year.

First a question for Miss Ryan, if this isn't your best side, which side is, huh? hehe Love your fun filled card. That image is a hoot for sure. Love your coloring of it, but I do think it is time she flipped and did the other side.....hmmm maybe that was what Annie Jo was talking about. hehe Sylvia, love this! TFS :0)

Oh hey, Sylvia, what a fun card - she sure is enjoying basking in the sun, but from the color, I'd say it is time to flip over!!
You are getting so good with those Copics - love this image - and the charm too - nice touch!!
