Like most of you, my cards will begin to take on those warmer and deeper earth tone colors with the change of season. However, here in Florida it's not even close to Autumn, regardless what the calendar says. But for those of you who have already began to feel the crisp and cooler days of fall; I give you my little Florida girl, soaking up the last rays of summer!! Isn't her outfit adorable?!?! Both the butterfly and the half pearls were both originally white. They were colored to match my card with my Copic markers...don't you just love that you can do that?!?!?
The Whiff of Joy Challenge Blog's new challenge this week is to use LAYERS.....at least 2. Come on now, most of us use 2 or more with every card so this challenge will be super duper easy!! I hope you will come over and play along with us.

Love it!!! She is super cute, love the coloring and you totally get the vibe she is soaking in the rays! Do you find living in Florida you overdo on the fall/winter things so it feels more like it? I do! I go all out with decorating, etc. Otherwise it doesn't feel right!

Wendy, this card is just glorious, hun! Thank you for keeping the summer alive for just a little longer! It is rather cool today here in the Toronto area. Yes, I believe autumn is upon us but I am not giving in that easily...still have my Capris and Birkenstocks on, lol! Well, your card is just so full of happiness and cheer...Love this paper, this gorgeous image of Willow, coloured beautifully and I love the little butterfly too!

Oh such a gorgeous card Wendy. Love the colouring of Willow and the papers also. Hugs Michele x
This is utterly delightful & I sat looking at which Copics you'd used for the colouring - this listing is so much clearer. I love your papers & the way you co-ordinated the pearls & butterfly is quite stunning.
Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog too.

This card is beyond GORGEOUS!!! Your coloring is out of this world amazing and the papers and layout...WOW...love it!! Thanks for taking the time to play along in this weeks Shining the Light Challenge over at ODBD!! Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
Oh I just love these colors!!! GORGEOUS card, Wendy! Nope, it's not even close to fall. My daughter's birthday is mid-October, and last year we had a tea party. I had everything planned for outside, but it was sooooo stinkin' hot we had to move it inside. I hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot this year, because we are having it at the park. I'm praying for slightly cooler weather...
Oh what a lovely card! I've not seen this image before, but she's beautiful! Your coloring is amazing, and I love the papers and distressing! Awesome job!
Thanks so much for playing along this week at Stamptacular Sunday ♥ Good luck on our Distressing challenge!

Hi Wendy
Your card is adorable, I lvoe all the beautiful colours and your great colouring of the image.
Thank you so much for giving us a feel of Florida, it's a few years since we last visited but your card has brought all the wonderful memories flooding back. And the warmth of the sun that has been missing in the UK this year.
Thanks you for joining us at Stampalot Challenge this month and good luck.

What a fabulous idea to colour your embellishments for a perfect match!! Your card is gorgeous. I just love those tones. We are having fall weather here (although today was quite warm) and the leaves are definitely changing and falling.
