New Challenge at Lacy Sunshine


A new challenge starts today at Lacy Sunshine and it's a fun one.  It's called Topsy Turvy Mismatch and the idea is to take an image with one theme, and make it for something else.  For example, take a summer image and make it for winter, or a Christmas image and make it for Halloween.  Get the idea?  I've chosen the adorable Rosalind, one of the Melancholy Moppets from Lady Heather's Curiousities Collection, and made a Christmas card.  


Here's a closeup of the adorable Rosalind.  I guess you'd call her a bit Steampunk with the clocks and gears (one of which I've turned into a peppermint candy) and the expression on her face hardly exudes enthusiasm for the most wonderful time of the year, so I thought she'd work well for the challenge. Besides, she was really, really, really fun to color.  Inside reads "It's Christmas time...AGAIN!"  Had to play up that clock reference, especially with that big Tim Holtz clock die hanging on there.  LOL



Here's the Lacy Sunshine Recipe Card with all the info.  Hopefully this is helpful to you for color combos.  My teamies have some fab creations so be sure to check out the Challenge Blog for more inspiration.  Can't wait to see what you create for this fun challenge.

I'm entering this in the Outlawz Friday Coloring Challenge ATG/Christmas Twist, Christmas Card Challenges ATG, The Glory of Christmas Use a a Digi Stamp, Crafty Hazelnut's April Patterned Paper Challenge, CHNC April Christmas Extra Challenge ATG as long as it's Christmas, Ladybug Crafts ATG, Crafts Galore Encore Make a Card, 613 Avenue Create ATG/Optional Humorous Sentiment.
