I'm sneaking in a make with the other team today for the new challenge at 613 Avenue Create! This week's optional twist is Shabby Chic. And I was able to work with one of our amazing sponsors: My Whimsical Little World and the adorable image "Splish, Splash". 
Because our twist this week was shabby chic, which tends to softer more muted tones, I chose to color my image in pencils rather than Copics. I did stray into some of the primary colors with her boot, umbrella, and skirt, but most of the image is softer.
I used my Distress Paint Dauber in Picket Fence on my background paper. It's not super visible, but I loved the clouds and raindrops on the paper so I used the paint dauber to tone down the color and soften the pattern a bit. Once the card was put together, I went in with my Glossy Accents and left raindrops on the flowers and papers, as well as coating the puddle so that it had a nice shiny surface.
Supplies:
"Splish, Splash" digistamp from MWLW
Bella Blvd Simply Spring "Dancing in the Rain" paper
eclectic mix of colored pencils
Prima Chalk ink in Tin Can
Tim Holtz Distress Paint in Picket Fence
5" paper doily
Laces from my stash

Wow Lisa! I love the super soft feel & the high level of detailing, including the distressing of the topper & BP, the shaping of her nose, the glossy accents raindrops, the doily, laces, beading, pearl stickers, intricate die cut & clouds coming over the top. Adding the distressing ink may not seem obvious, but the BO now coordinates perfectly with the puddle, tying everything in perfectly. Overall, an absolutely fabulous card. Thank you so much for joining us at Design Team Showcase for challenge #17. AELx
