Lands' End Elzy

It is Saturday and for once I am organized and ready to participate in the Super Saturday Challenge! This week a sketch invented and hosted by Gabby. Though you should go check out both Mel's and Joni's entries as they are FABULOUS (and also because those two ladies are the hostesses on other weeks).

So here she is, my little Elzybell. Every time I look at her I am reminded of those matching raincoat and rain boots sets at Lands' End. I have always thought they were so cute, but couldn't justify the cost. Especially as Princess A isn't overwhelmed with desire for them.

It is hard to tell in the photo (and frankly hard to tell on the card), but the bottom-most background has subtle water colored flowers. The raindrops are made from a Fiskar's Texture plate run through the Cuttlebug with an old mouse pad. The flowered panel and the flowers in the paper piecing are the other side of the blue water color background. This is how I make sure my colors match and papers coordinate. Pretty slick, eh? All cardstock and dp is from SU except for the white which comes from PTI. I almost forgot to mention that Miss Elzy and her matte are cut out with Nestabilities via my faithful Cuttlebug.

The rhinestone brad is also SU; the flowers it attaches a gift from one of my many Divine Secret Siblings rounds. The little bit of coloring was done with Prismacolor Markers.

Today is sunny and warm, but the clouds will be rolling in and this will be Princess A tomorrow. Even down to the blond hair, but sadly without the coordinating rain outfit.
