Hello Everyone,
I should have titled my post, "When Good Ideas Go Bad"! It seems that "Mr. Mojo" was up to his old tricks and both cards gave me the blues. I spent way too much time on both and in frustration, I called it quits!!! For example, the Roses on Paper/ Just Magnolia card was going well until I decided to add yellow for Tilda's lace trim. The purple/yellow combination only looked good in my mind. I tried to cover the hideous yellow by adding blue glitter and made it worse! Anyhow, after I get myself together, I plan on scraping off the glitter and color the trim in a deeper shade of lavender.
Back to the double challenge. The ROP challenge is to make a card combining challenges. The only requirement is that you use flowers. So...I decided to incorporate the Just Magnolia Challenge which is a sketch challenge with the ROP Challenge. The sketch was designed by the talented Bev (All The Things I Love). Thanks for the inspiration Bev!

New Digi Download from All That Scraps.......May I introduce you to KiKi!
Kiki is really adorable and I simply wanted to have fun with this image. Kiki reminds me of a collection of dolls that I had when I was a kid. Each doll was only about an inch in height and they had different shades of hair that was scented according their hair color! (red hair..cherry scent, green hair ..green apple scent etc.) I can't remember the name brand of these dolls but I loved them!
Going along with the 4th of July theme, I layered the background with fun 4th of July design papers.

Hi Risa! I think the yellow would have looked nice but the way you have it is beautiful too! Both cards are so darn cute and so vibrant. I love the beautiful colors. Both are such fun to look at. . .love all the cute dots and circles on the dp of your first card. The patriotic colors on the second card is perfect for the image! You colored the images so beautifully as always!

I think we all go through this mojo loss some time or another. I don't know but it seems like your mojo was still there cuz your card is gorgeous! I really love it. I do know how sometimes when we create, we aren't satisfied because it didn't turn out the way we envisioned it to be, right? I love all of your cards Risa! hugs, Teri
Both of your cards are so cute!! Love the coloring of course, and thanks for joining us in the ROP challenge!!
I love that cute new image from all that scraps,she is a cutie!

Oh Risa, I know how you feel, but I've found it's only us that see the things we think are wrong! Your Tilda is GORGEOUS! I'm pretty partial to purple, so I loved the card right away. I love all the details you added, it really brings it all together! And your coloring is awesome! I also love the KiKi card....adorable! Again, your coloring rocks! Major mojo here as far as I'm concerned! hugz, Mary
Your colouring ROCKS sister! Love both the cards!
