Have fun...

This is exactly what I had with the sketch made by our lovely Suzanne.

It was really a lot of fun to work out the different shapes and make them fit together. Thank you Suzanne for making us think outside of the box.

I decided for once to make another size for my card. I used DPs that were from my stash - (some from SU and some from our local shop Pysselakuten). One of the DPs had the perfect text for this one: "Have fun, find your passion and dream big".
The reason why I think it's perfect is because my son Isac really live by those words. He was my inspiration when I illustrated this image. He told me once that he had been to UK without us (he is only 2.5) and when I asked him what he was doing there - he said - skateboarding ;-)

It's also so nice to see that he really thinks that he can do anything. Nothing is impossible. When do we stop believing that? Well - I know for sure - I will support Isac in whatever his dreams will be - and hopefully he will continue to dream big!

Back to the card: I covered the "dream" with a ticket stating the same word instead. I cut out my shapes with my wonderful nesties of course. Added some dew drops on the top, rub-ons - next to Isac from SU. I coloured Isac with skateboard with my copics. I really wanted this card to be more Spring or Summer like - that's why I went for these colours.

Also - please welcome Aud Nordheim as a permanent member of Susana's DT! She makes the most wonderful cards and I am extra pleased to have a "neighbour" (Aud lives in Norway) in the team as well ;-)

Remember that you it's time to enter for the chance to become a Guest Designer for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. You have until March 12th to do so!! You can see all the details HERE.
Hope you will play with us and if so - upload your card/project following Suzanne's sketch on SCS or PCP. Tag it with the keyword "TIOT9".

Kram and remember - DREAM BIG!
