A Great Adventure

Today's blog card is both my submission for Unity's {Show & Tell} current challenge and a thank you for a special friend.

For the Unity challenge,

'Create a card with a kraft base and twine with a splash of color'

I selected Phyllis Harris' .... 

life's an adventure,

which includes the quote by Helen Keller,

"Life is either a great adventure or nothing." 

 After stamping onto the standard card base, I colored her dress and the swing with Copic markers and used a pink metallic gel pen for the headband, bow and ruffle.  The decorative doily is a natural colored miniature by Stampin Up that I colored also with a three shades of Copic markers and added a orange gemstone in the center after mounting and trimming.  For the twine, I also tied several sailor's knots to give the rope effect rather than a bow. 

I am grateful to my friend who has given me a wonderful opportunity to travel to parts of the US over the last 6 weeks, that I've never been to and to enjoy her hospitality. 

How wonderfully blessed my life continues to be!

Thank you for stopping by today and for following my blog.
