Mini Melinas Twisted Tuesday

The owner of the Twisted Tuesdays Challenge blog (#2TC57)has a little girl who just had a birthday (happened after the challenge posted, but before I posted here). I do not know her name, however, so I will call her Mini Melina. In honor of her birthday, the challenge is to use the color pink (a favorite of Minis); The twist is to show something that is outdoors (Mini loves to play outside).

When I was at the Rubber Stamp Expo this past June, I did a Make -n- Take which involved sponging and spritzing. I really loved the effect, and when SCS published that same technique recently in their weekly tutorial, I wanted to try it again. 

The shades of pink (trust me, there are three) evolve from lightest on the right to darkest on the left. Most of the gallery photos, and even the Make -n- Take that I did, feature silhouettes, but I thought Mini was a bit young for that yet. Many stamps were considered and dismissed, but as soon as I saw this one, I knew it was right.

Happy Birthday Mini!

When I asked Princess A if the first thing that came to mind when she thought of the great outdoors was a unicorn, she hesitated, and in that moment, Main Squeeze pointed out, "well, I have never seen one inside"
