Living of the edge

It is not my team's turn, but I decided it would be fun to make a card for this week's Squigglefly challenge "living of the edge". I used Cheryl Alger's image, "Paint a Pretty Picture" from Squigglefly.

I probably should have used an image that did not make such a mess. By the time little miss had finished her work of art, paint was splashed all over her dress, the walls and floor, not to mention, the dog ran into the room, knocked over a bucket of paint and ran through the house leaving a trail of paint. Next time, she will be decorating a piece of paper strategically placed on old newspaper, wearing worn-out clothes, and dipping a very small paintbrush into an equally small cup of colorant. At least, she painted a pretty picture.

  6. And there I was thinking she somehow had managed to strategically place the tins of paint to catch her spills. Another Great Card Tammy, I love the bright paint colours with the coordinated border down the side of your card.

  9. Tammy this is a wonderful card! I love the bit of glitter you added to the paint - it makes it look wet! The borders on the side matching the paint colors was a brilliant idea. I think my favorite part is the tiny little bow holding up her canvas! Yay for you playing even though it's not your week!
